A.E. Shikanov (NRNU MEPhI, Institute of Laser and Plasma Technologies)
The results of physical simulation of pulsed ion diodes with a laser-plasma anode and a magnetic system for suppressing the electron flow in its working volume are presented. Data on neutron generation in the diode are given. On the basis of the experimental data obtained, the principal possibility of generating neutron fluxes with an intensity of more than 1012 n/s is shown for the dimensions of the radiating tritium target not exceeding 0.1 m. The methods of electrodynamic and neutron measurements and the corresponding experimental equipment are described.
