Abstract
Stable neutron generation with a yield of â¼1.2Â ÃÂ 104 neutrons per pulse was obtained during d(d,n)3He reaction initiated by the high-voltage nanosecond discharge in a gap with a potential tungsten cylinder (anode) and a grounded deuterated zirconium plate (cathode) filled with deuterium at a pressure of â¼102Â Pa. Estimated duration of the neutron pulse was â¼1.5Â ns. Less intensive neutron emission was registered without deuterated plate. Splashing of material of the tungsten electrode was observed during the high-voltage nanosecond discharge in the deuterium, hydrogen, helium and argon at pressures of 102-104Â Pa.
