文摘

In this research effect of gas pressure, discharge current and cathode voltage on the neutron production rate in IR-IECF device is studied. In the experiment discharge current from 20 to 100?mA was tunable by deuterium gas pressure from 6.4?×?10? mbar to 1.7?×?10? mbar and cathode voltage was changed from 20 to 80?kV. Moreover, maximum value of neutron production rate can be achieved in optimum pressure and discharge current at a constant voltage.
