Abstract
The paper demonstrates a possibility of a high-power compact neutron generator creation with 1010 s−1 neutron yield and small emitting area (about 1mm) based on a high-current ECR ion source with a quasigasdynamic plasma confinement regime. Neutron generation is realized by D-D fusion at deuterium-loaded target bombarded by a sharp focused high-current (50 mA) deuterium ion beam with energy at the level of 80 keV.
