Abstract

A gated neutron streak camera with a uranium oxide cathode has been developed for laser fusion experiments. The energy spectrum of secondary electrons was improved by coating the uranium oxide cathode with thin cesium iodine. The tube design was carried out by computer calculation of electron trajectories. The newly developed streak tube showed a temporal resolution of about 70 ps. This streak camera can be applicable to a neutron yield greater than 1012 with a reasonable signal-to-noise ratio by gating a microchannel plate electron multiplier.
