Abstract

The formation of a deuteron beam in a diode with a plasma emitter that is integrated into the structure of a vacuum neutron tube is considered. Computations are carried out for plasma with given time dependences of parameters (density, relative concentration, and expansion velocity) at the inlet to an accelerating gap. It is shown that it is possible to increase the ion-beam current possible by sectioning the diode at the given external parameters.
