Neutron Generation from Straight Pinches
Journal Article

· Journal of Applied Physics
Experiments on the neutrons produced in deuterium gas during a high- current pulsed discharge are described. With 15-kv applied to a straight discharge tube 30 cm long, neutrons are produced during a 0.1 mu sec pulse ~1.4 mu sec after gas breakdown. The yield of 107 to 108 neutrons per discharge depends on gas purity and the dischange tube wall material. The axial asymmetry in neutron energy indicate that the neutrons are produced in reactions whose center of mass moves preferentially towards the cathode.
