Neutron generator

5 NEUTRONGENERATOR A neutron generator with a neutron tube (10) comprising a reservoir (12) for absorbing and desorbing a gas, an ion source (14) producing ions by ionization of the gas, an ion acceleration system and a target (18) struck by the accelerated 10 ions to emit neutrons. The neutron gene...

Summary:5 NEUTRONGENERATOR A neutron generator with a neutron tube (10) comprising a reservoir (12) for absorbing and desorbing a gas, an ion source (14) producing ions by ionization of the gas, an ion acceleration system and a target (18) struck by the accelerated 10 ions to emit neutrons. The neutron generator includes an electronic control circuit (50) of the supply of electricity to the reservoir and ion source, and has a neutron emission mode and pause mode. The neutron generator (100) includes a regulation circuit (40) configured to determine, in pause mode, the electrical resistance of the reservoir (12) and regulate the electrical resistance of the 15 reservoir by varying the current (Ir) supplying the reservoir.
