In designing neutron generators which will be put down bore holes, the usual vacuum techniques do not apply. Progress is reported in the development of an ion source that can operate effectively under conditions such that the pumping of gas is kept to a minimum, and in the design of special pumping systems specifically for bore-hole conditions. --M. Russell.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
