Abstract
A movable electrophysical capacitor installation with a 250-kJ maximum bank energy, which generates intense neutron pulses, is described. A current pulse generator with a capacitive energy storage forms the basis of the installation. When the initial voltage at the capacitor bank is up to 35 kV, the installation ensures a flow of current pulses with amplitudes of up to 2 MA in a gas-discharge plasma-focus chamber, which is filled with an equal-component deuterium-tritium (DT) mixture. Under these conditions, the chamber is capable of repeatedly generating single fast-neutron pulses with an energy of 14.1 MeV, a duration of ∼70 ns, and an integral yield over 1013 neutrons/pulse.
