Popis: Neutron generators NG-10 and NG-10M with a neutron yield of 1*10¹⁰ n/s and 2*10¹¹ n/s respectively have been designed in the JSC "NIIEFA". The generators are high-voltage accelerators with target devices intended for installation and effective cooling of Ti-T/Ti-D targets of different diameters. A duoplasmotron with a beam current up to 5 mA is used in the NG-10 generator, and the NG-10M employs a microwave ion source providing the beam current up to 10 mA. The power supplies, which are under high voltage, are controlled via fiber optic communication lines. Deuterium ions produced in the ion source are accelerated up to 150 keV in a sectionalized accelerating tube, separated in mass with an electromagnetic mass-separator and focused onto a target with a doublet of electromagnetic quadrupole lenses. The generators are equipped with several lines to transport the beam to targets, which can be placed in separate rooms. In addition to a high and stable in time yield of neutrons when operating continuously, the generators provide the pulsed mode with a smooth variation of the pulse width from 2 mks up to 100 mks and pulse repetition rate from 1 Hz up to 20 kHz.
