FIELD: engineering physics; neutron production for various applications. ^ SUBSTANCE: proposed neutron tube has body accommodating three-electrode controlled ion source whose anode and cathode are saturated with hydrogen ions, as well as insulating target and gas absorbers. Target is made in the form of identical three-electrode controlled ion source disposed within tube body against first ion source for simultaneous supply of negative and positive voltage pulses of same amplitude to both ion sources in turn. ^ EFFECT: enhanced service life of tube affording rated neutron yield. ^ 1 cl, 1 dwg |
