In present paper, an approach for high yield compact D-D neutron generator based on a high current
gasdynamic electron cyclotron resonance ion source is suggested. Results on dense pulsed deuteron
beam production with current up to 500 mA and current density up to 750 mA/cm2 are
demonstrated. Neutron yield from D2O and TiD2 targets was measured in case of its bombardment
by pulsed 300 mA Dþ beam with 45 keV energy. Neutron yield density at target surface of 109 s
1
cm2 was detected with a system of two 3
He proportional counters. Estimations based on obtained
experimental results show that neutron yield from a high quality TiD2 target bombarded by Dþ
beam demonstrated in present work accelerated to 100 keV could reach 6 1010 s
1 cm2
. It is discussed
that compact neutron generator with such characteristics could be perspective for a number
of applications like boron neutron capture therapy, security systems based on neutron scanning,
and neutronography. VC 2
