摘要：

A high-yield D-T neutron generator has been developed for neutron interrogation in homeland security applications such as cargo screening. The generator has been designed as a sealed tube with a performance goal of producing 5 x 10 (11)n/s over a long lifetime. The key generator components developed are a radio-frequency (RF) driven ion source and a beam-loaded neutron production target that can handle a beam power of 10 M The ion source can provide a 100 mA D+/T+ beam current with a high fraction of atomic species and can be pulsed up to frequencies of several kilohertz for pulsed neutron generator operation. Testing in D-D operation has been started. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
