Intense,
energetic electron beam assisted fusion neutron generator
Energetic
electron beam assisted fusion neutron generator which comprises a lasma
generator and an electron source interconnected by a pinch tube and control
means for the plasma generator, electron source, and said pinch tube to cause
the electron source to be focused on the plasma from the plasma generator and
to cause the electron source to be transmitted to the plasma of the plasma
generator at the appropriate time to cause a maximum amount of neutrons to be
produced by the interaction of the outputs of the plasma generator and the
electron source through an appropriate gas filling the plasma generator.
