| 摘要 |
A particle producing apparatus adapted to utilize a star mode of inertial electrostatic confinement of a glow discharge induced ion and neutral gas mixture of fusible low atomic number isotope species to generate neutrons in a macro linear or curvilinear geometry, the apparatus comprising a hermetically sealed vessel of generally prismatic form having an inner surface and a central axis, within which vessel is disposed an elongate anode electrode structure surrounding an elongate cathode electrode structure having a perimetral surface provided with apertures therein, the anode and cathode structures being substantially concentric along at least a part of their lengths and substantially coaxial with the vessel such that, during operation, the star mode beams of ions and high kinetic energy neutrals have a general direction of motion which is aligned substantially radially to a central axis of the vessel. |
