Simulation and optimization of a miniaturized ion source for a neutron tube
A miniaturized Penning ion source, capable of generating a milliampere H^{+} beam with low anode power supply and low gas consumption, was produced and tested for neutron tubes. For a better understanding and optimization of the Penning ion source, magnetic field, beam extraction system, and plasma...
