A pulsed neutron generator (PNG) includes a sealed tube and a gas reservoir disposed in the sealed tube. The gas reservoir includes dispersed particles of a thermally reversible hydride-adsorptive material therein. The material panicles having adsorbed therein deuterium and/or tritium. A heated cathode disposed in the sealed tube, wherein heat from the cathode transfers indirectly to the gas reservoir. A gas ionizer is disposed in the sealed tube. A target is disposed in the sealed tube. The target including adsorbed deuterium and/or tritium therein. In another aspect, tube is pre-filled with deuterium and/or tritium, the reservoir is omitted, and an ion beam current is controlled by controlling an ionizer grid voltage and/or current. |
