0.2 Hz plasma-focus-based source of fast neutrons and hard x rays for applications

A small chamber Plasma Focus that operates at 0.2 Hz for several minutes is used as a source of hard x rays and fast neutrons. The device is powered by a microprocessor controlled capacitor charging power supply. The x rays are used for introspective imaging of metallic pieces, static and in motion,...

The device is powered by a microprocessor controlled capacitor charging power supply. The x rays are used for introspective imaging of metallic pieces, static and in motion, that allows for the detection of internal defects as small as 1 mm. The x ray radiation is able to produce clear images of objects placed behind several millimeters of iron and steel. The fast neutrons allow for the detection of hydrogenated substances and can discriminate between different concentrations of water located near the device. © 2006 American Institute of Physics. 2006 https://bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar/collection/paper/document/paper_0094243X_v875_n_p23_Moreno http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_0094243X_v875_n_p23_Moreno
