“…Interest in neutron generators incorporating detectors to measure the recoil helium atoms associated with the fusion process is not new but has grown over the past decade, primarily in relation to security programs. [102][103][104][105] In these systems the associated particle detector, either a scintillator or solid-state detector, is used to provide timing information (nanosecond time resolution) about when neutrons are created and directional information regarding their path from the target in the neutron tube. In some cases the directional information provided from the AP detector is used to provide a general indication, or conebeam understanding, of the neutron flight path.…”

Advances in neutron science have gone hand in hand with the development and of particle accelerators from the beginning of both fields of study. Early accelerator systems were developed simply to produce neutrons, allowing scientists to study their properties and how neutrons interact in matter, but people quickly realized that more tangible uses existed too. Today the diversity of applications for industrial accelerator-based neutron sources is high and so to is the actual number of instruments in daily use is high, and they serve important roles in the fields where they're used. This chapter presents a technical introduction to the different ways particle accelerators are used to produce neutrons, an historical overview of the early development of neutron-producing particle accelerators, a description of some current industrial accelerator systems, narratives of the fields where neutron-producing particle accelerators are used today, and comments on future trends in the industrial uses of neutron producing particle accelerators.
