Vacuum Arc Neutron Generator.

Abstract

Giant vacuum sparks have been useful for obtaining highly ionized atoms and high temperatures. It has been attempted to introduce deuterium into the electrode material, in order to obtain fusion in the spark. Generally, however, the hot plasma point formed in vacuum sparks did not form here. The presence of deuterium seems to prevent evolution of the processes leading to high temperatures. In some cases, however, several thousand neutrons were observed on sparking.
