Abstract
A pulsed neutron source has been developed whose principal element is a sealed‐off vacuum tube in which a discharge between titanium tritide surfaces produces tritons, which then are accelerated to a deuterium‐loaded target. The construction of a tube producing approximately 107 neutrons in microsecond pulses and having a life of several thousand pulses is described.Keywords
