ABSTRACT:
A spallation device for production of neutrons includes a spallation target that produces neutrons by interaction with a hollow particle beam propagating within a first chamber, a second chamber containing the spallation target, and a leak tight partition separating the first and second chambers. The spallation device is particularly applicable to basic physics, medicine, and transmutation.
