Abstract

A high flux neutron source based on a vacuum-insulated tandem accelerator (VITA) and a lithium target has been proposed and developed at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk, Russia. We describe VITA which provides a dc proton/deuteron beam with an energy within a range of 0.6–2.3 MeV with a current from 1 nA to 10 mA. VITA is also capable of producing α -particles through the 7 Li(p, α ) α and 11 B(p, α ) α α reactions, 478 keV photons through the 7 Li(p,p ′ γ ) 7 Li reaction and positrons through the 19 F(p,e + e − ) 16 O reaction. We present several applications of this source: boron neutron capture therapy, nuclear cross sections determination, lithium target study, radiation blistering of metals during proton implantation and the radiation testing of promising materials.
