    摘要: Described herein are integrated systems for generating neutrons to perform a variety of tasks including: on-line analysis of bulk material and industrial process control (as shown in FIG. 1), security interrogation (as shown in FIG. 2), soil and environmental analysis, and medical diagnostic treatment. These systems are based on novel gas-target neutron generation which embodies the beneficial characteristics of replenishable fusible gas targets for very long lifetime, stability and continuous operation, combined with the advantageous features common to conventional accelerator neutron tubes including: on/off operation, hermetically sealed operation, and safe storage and transport. Innovative electron management techniques provide gas-target neutron production efficiencies that are comparable or surpass existing sources. The high-pressure high-resistance gaseous discharge is presented as a favorable gas-target neutron generator embodiment, combining ion source regions, accelerator regions, gas-target regions and electron management components within a single simple cost-effective device that is adaptable to various geometric configurations that provide specific neutron emission profiles for greater analysis capacity.

    摘要: A device (100) for producing fullerenes includes an IEC vacuum chamber (110) which has a central grid-like electrode (112) and a conductive outer shell (111) that are connected to a pulsed source of high voltage (114) and provide an electric field within the chamber (110). The applied voltage supports the creation of a plasma at the inner core of the chamber near the electrode (112). A carbon-based gas, which is introduced into the chamber (110), possibly along with an inert buffer gas, id dissociated into component carbon and hydrogen ions that are separated and the carbon ions recombined into fullerenes that appears as a soot. The device (100) includes a soot extraction mechanism for removing and collecting the fullerenes.
