ABSTRACT:
A target for a fusion neutron generator consisting of planar arrays of parallel tubes through which a cooling liquid is circulated. The target is relatively thin, and can be used to intercept two ion beams simultaneously, one on the front and the other on the back of the target. Two mixed ion beams, each containing a mixture of deuterium and tritium ions are accelerated into both sides of the water-cooled chromium plated copper-tube target whereby reactions occur yielding 14 MeV neutrons. At typical operating conditions of 170 keV and 300 mA total beam current, the neutron yield with a mixture of deuterium and tritium gas is approximately 6 .times. 10.sup.12 n/sec for an effective beam spot of 5.5 centimeters diameter.
