Abstract

A 3×10 12 n/s source of 14 MeV neutrons is described in this paper. The neutrons are produced by the T(d,n) 4 He reaction under a 30 mA, 300 keV deuteron beam bombarding a water-cooled, rotating titanium-tritide target. The size of the beam spot on the target is 1.8 cm, and at the distance of closest approach to the source a neutron flux of 5×10 11 n/cm 2 s is obtained.
