Abstract
Results from experimental and theoretical studies of deuteron acceleration in small-size magnetically insulated plasma diodes are presented. The problems of creating accelerating tubes for neutron generation on the basis of magnetically insulated diodes are considered. The prospects of creating small-size neutron generators with neutron fluxes of 1010–1012 neutrons/s into the full solid angle are estimated.
