ABSTRACT:
A neutron generator tube includes an ion source having at least one anode (6), at least one cathode (7) having at least one extraction port (12), and an accelerator electrode (2) arranged so as to project at least one ion beam from the ion source onto a target (4) to produce thereat a reaction resulting in emission of neutrons. The ion source is arranged on at least a portion of a first surface of revolution (8', 41, 51) and is constructed so as to produce emission of ions radially outwardly from such surface. The accelerator electrode (2) is arranged on at least a portion of a second surface of revolution which surrounds the aforesaid first surface, the target (4) being positioned on at least a portion of a third surface of revolution which surrounds the aforesaid second surface. Increased neutron flux is thereby achieved for a given size generator tube, and for a given neutron flux a significantly reduced ion bombardment density is produced at the target and so achieves extended target life.
