| Status of original heavy hydrogen ion electrostatic accelerator-tandem is described. Potential electrodes with vacuum insulation organize tract for accelerating ion beam before and after gas stripper, located inside the high voltage electrode. There are no accelerating tubes in the tandem proposed. 20 kHz, 10 kW, 500 kV compact sectioned rectifier is a high voltage source. Both the geometry of neutron source and results of the rectifier testing are presented. Estimation of yield and space-energy distribution of neutron, as a result of nuclear reactions produced by heavy hydrogen ion in beryllium or carbon targets are given. Result of Monte-Carlo simulation of neutron and photon transferring for these sources of neutron is the distribution of the absorbed dose incide phantom. Result of the simulation are compared with result of the experiment. The possibility of use of this neutron source for the neutron or neutron capture therapy is discussed too. |
