Cathode sputtering with electrical discharge through a heavy water-saturated vapor interface

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

An experimental study of electrical discharge in an atmosphere of heavy-water vapor was conducted. The heavy-water surface served as the cathode. Under specific discharge conditions, intense neutron radiation induced by the discharge was observed. The dependence of the intensity of neutron generation on the discharge current was measured.
