Comparison of DD, DT and Cf-252 neutron excitation of light and medium mass nuclei for field PGNAA applications

Design of a high-current low-energy beam transport line for an intense D-T/D-D neutron generator

“…They are neutron source devices that are easy to operate and are relatively inexpensive. The neutron generators have gained much attention as an alternative to nuclear reactors and radioactive neutron sources in the various fields of neutron science such as in nuclear data measurements, radiation hardening, radioactive breeding, international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER), prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA), and boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) [1][2][3][4].…”
