Abstract
An operating model of a neutron source based on a small linear resonance accelerator of deuterons with a laser ion source is described. The results of theoretical and experimental investigations and optimization of the physical characteristics of the model are presented. An assessment is made of the possibility of increasing the neutron yield of the apparatus.
