A 14 MeV neutron generator described in this paper.Neutrons are produced in D-T, D-D,T-T reactions. The production of 14 MeV neutrons from DD neutrons generator resulting from tritium build up from d(d,p)t reaction in the target under 30mA, 300 KeV deuteron beam, bombarding a water-cooled, rotating target, size of beam spot on target is 1.8 cm is obtained. An estimate of the capital cost 14 MeV...

The thermodynamical conditions and the neutron density produced in a laser-induced implosion of deuterium-tritium (DT) filled capsule at National Ignition Facility (NIF) are closest laboratory analog stellar conditions. We plan to investigate neutron-induced reactions on 40 Ar, namely Ar( n , 2 ) 39 t 1/2 =268 y), γ) 41 Ar(110 min) potential rapid two-neutron capture reaction Ar(2 42 Ar(33 y) a...

The deuterium-tritium (D-T) and deuterium-deuterium neutron yield ratio in cryogenic inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments is used to examine multifluid effects, traditionally not included in ICF modeling. This ratio has been measured for ignition-scalable direct-drive cryogenic DT implosions at the Omega Laser Facility [T. R. Boehly et al., Opt. Commun. 133, 495 (1997)OPCOB80030-401810...

The high efficiency power management IC (PMIC) with switching device is presented in this paper. PMIC is controlled with PFM control method in order to have high power efficiency at high current level. Dynamic Threshold voltage CMOS (DT-CMOS) with low on-resistance is designed to decrease conduction loss. The threshold voltage of DT-CMOS drops as the gate voltage increase, resulting in a much h...

The chlorine concentration in Superpozz (SPZ) cement concrete was analyzed using a newly designed prompt gamma-ray neutron activation (PGNAA) setup utilizing a portable neutron generator. The setup, which mainly consists of a neutron source along with its moderator placed side by side with a shielded gamma-ray detector, allows determining chloride concentration in a concrete structure from one ...

High-fidelity, time-resolved measurements of the neutron flux from the implosion of DTandlor DD-filled capsules have been a challenging problem for the international inertial-confinement-fusion (ICF) community. A measure of the neutron production rate can provide valuable information on the quaIity of the implosion, such as the confinement time of the plasma. A time-resolving neutron detector i...
