Description
For use in fast neutron and fast neutron activation analysis a compact closed system neutron generator tube on the ground of the d-t-fusion reaction has been developed. The source strength of 5 x 1012n/s gives internal irradiation flux densities of 6 x 1010n/cm2/s at a useful probe volume of 25 cm3. The external neutron beam tissue dose in 90 cm distance from the source outside of a 70 cm long collimator shield amounts to 20 rd/min. The life expectancy of the tube is several hundred hours.

Abstract (German)
Fuer die Strahlentherapie und die Neutronenaktivierungsanalyse mit schnellen Neutronen wurde eine kompakte abgeschlossene Neutronenroehre auf der Grundlage der d-t-Fusionsreaktion entwickelt. Die Quellstaerke von 5 x 1012n/s ergibt Flussdichten von 6 x 1010n/cm2/s fuer die interne Bestrahlung von Proben mit max. 25 cm3 Volumen. Die Gewebedosisleistung betraegt in 90 cm Abstand von der Quelle ausserhalb einer 70 cm dicken Kollimatorabschirmung ca. 20rd/min. Die Lebensdauererwartung der Roehre betraegt nach den ersten Betriebserfahrungen mehere hundert Stunden. (orig.)Additional details
