Assembly and operation of a 300 keV electrostatic neutron source

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

We describe a 300 keV electrostatic ion accelerator for the production of fast neutrons. A special target assembly permits the α-particles from the T(d, n)4He reaction to be utilized for coincidence work and for monitorizing. For the latter purpose we use a silicon junction detector. The results of different measurements of the neutron flux are given.

Riassunto

Descriviamo un accelerators elettrostatico da 300 keV per la produzioue di neutroni veloci. Uno speciale montaggio della targhetta permette di ntilizzare la particella α della reazione (d, n)4He sia per lavori con tecniche di coincidenza sia per la monitorizzazione. Per quest’ultimo scopo si usa imo scintillatore a giunzione. Sono dati i risultati della misura del flusso di neutroni.
