NEUTRON GENERATOR FOR CONTROLLING ION BEAM AND TARGET VOLTAGE IN NEUTRON GENERATOR FOR IMPROVING PERFORMANCE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for controlling operation parameter of a neutron generator in an instrument such as a neutron logging instrument using the neutron generator to especially optimize an neutron output and a neutron generator operation life.;SOLUTION: A method for operating a pulsed neutron generator includes a step of adjusting a target current of the neutron generator to a preselected value. Parameter related to a neutron output of the neutron generator is measured. A target voltage of the neutron generator is adjusted to maintain the measured parameter within a predetermined range.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
