Abstract

A method of restoring the neutron field generated by a vacuum accelerating tube with a metal–tritium target of a complex configuration is proposed. The method uses the data from neutron measurements on a disassembling vacuum bench with a small deuterium target. The method provides radiation safety. Specific examples of its application in the process of investigating ion diodes developed at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI are presented.
