Simulation Research of Deuterium and Tritium Ions Motion in Accelerating Electric Field for Neutron Tube

Abstract:

The model of neutron tube accelerating system was established to research what the effect of neutron tube accelerating gap, voltage and size of accelerating electrode on trajectory of deuterium tritium ion with finite element simulation technology. Some useful conclusions obtained from the simulation results provide the basis for optimizing the neutron tube structure and parameter, which can make neutron yields of 50-mm-diameter tube in the order of 10⁹ n/s and the stability is not more than 2%.
