Heating of Elements of the Discharge Node in a Vacuum Neutron Tube of a Portable Neutron Generator with an Increased Neutron Yield
The generation and dynamics of reverse electron flows in a high-power vacuum neutron tube leading to the intense heating of the elements of the discharge node up to their melting are analyzed. The contribution of each component of the reverse electron flow to the heating of the discharge node is considered.
