For a 2.5 MeV neutron generator:

a) ₁D² + ₁D² -->₂He³ (0.82 MeV) + ₀n¹ (2.45 MeV)

b) ₁D² + ₁D² -->₁T³ (1.01 MeV)+ ₁p¹(3.02 MeV)

Reactions a) and b) occur with equal probability.

• 2x10⁷ DD n/s maximum with 230 VAC mains power (1.2x10⁷ DD n/s maximum with 120 VAC)
• Continuous output
• Very fast start to maximum performance. No run-up.
• The Central Controller and HV DC Power Supplies is in a 19" rack housing
• Air cooled to transfer the 1.8 kW maximum thermal emission.
• Chamber operational lifetime between DD gas refill servicing will be at least 25,000 hours but probably 50,000 hours but without the half life decay characteristic of ²⁵²Cf nor the short lifetimes of the old beam-solid target technology.
• The total life cycle cost economics of our products compared to other neutron source technologies is more attractive.
• All models include the specification of long lifetime of at least 25,000 hours of operation.

• ~ 1x10⁸ n/s with an electrode of at least 250mm
• Longer line source neutron emission zones are feasible
• Continuous DC

or

• Pulsed Neutron emission mode up to 10 kHz --user commanded
• Pulse duration of 2-20 micro µ second pulse duration -- user commanded
• Maximum duty cycle on time 2%
• Fixed Voltage
• Variable current per pulse -- user commanded
• High stability and repeatability
• All models include the specification of long lifetime of at least 25,000 hours of operation.

An example of a high end neutron generator system:

• 1.25x10⁹ n/s pulsed
• Electrode minimum length 300mm for 12kW

For more neutron flux, consider a multi-head configuration.
