Summary form only given. An Inertial Electro-static Confinement Fusion (IECF) device is one of the candidates among the neutron sources, and it is possible to produce the neutrons by a compact device of simple configuration. The IECF is a concept for electrostatically confining high-energy fuel ions in a spherical potential well. It consists of two grid electrodes, radii are different and centers...
A compact neutron generator, i.e., an IEC (Inertial Electrostatic Confinement) fusion device has been studied for its suitability as a compact and economical fusion neutron source using a metal deuteride cathode. In this study, we used hydrogen absorption metal. If the cathode is made of deuteride metal, the density of deuteron becomes very high not only inside but area near around cathode so that...
A new technique of the Ionization Neutron Calorimeter (INCA) to be installed aboard a satellite or a space station is capable of opening new horizons for cosmic-ray physics. The main goal of the experiment proposed is studying local nearby sources of high-energy cosmic rays by measuring the spectrum and composition of the nuclear component with the energy resolution of better than 30% that is sufficient...
