Funding: The work was supported by Russian Science Foundation, Grant No. 16-19-10501. One of the interesting applications of ECR ion sources is their use as a part of neutron generators. The use of high-current gasdynamic sources with plasma heating by high-frequency gyrotron radiation allows to increase neutron yield, and obtain a point-like neutron emission by sharp focusing of a high-quality deuterium ion beam on a target. Such point-like neutron source could perspective for neutron tomography. In the first experiments at SMIS 37 facility the high-current deuterium ion beam was focused by a simple magnetic coil (magnetic field strength up to 2 T) placed behind two-electrode extraction system on a titanium target saturated with deuterium. It was demonstrated that in such system a weakly descending 60 mA ion beam with the convergence of 50 could be focused in 1 mm spot resulting in 8 ' cm-2 of current density at the focal plane. Measured neutron yield from the target placed in the focal region under conditions of the beam energy of 80 keV reached a value of 1010 neutrons per second in 1 ms pulse. |
