10B(d,n)11C REACTION BASED NEUTRON GENERATOR

摘要

A neutron generator comprising a boron-10 bearing target and a low-energy accelerator, wherein said low-energy accelerator emits a plurality of particles which bombard said boron-10 bearing target to cause a ¹⁰B(d,n)¹¹C reaction which in turn produces a plurality of neutrons having an energy value greater than about 2 MeV and less than about 8 MeV.
