Abstract

See full text

A superconducting neutron source and a method for producing a high intensity, high energy neutron beam having a narrow beam width. A pair of beam extraction electrodes are located in a vacuum vessel of a cyclotron. The electrodes deflect a pair of deuteron beams from a stream of ionized deuterium gas swirling within the vacuum vessel. The deuteron beams are extracted from the cyclotron and funneled through a superconducting beam focusing tube. The beams are focused by the superconducting tube so as to move towards and collide with one another within the tube. A narrow neutron beam is obtained by colliding staggered deuteron beams moving in the same direction so that the momentum of the colliding beams is retained.
