Nuclear synthesis based on electrostatic acceleration and confinement of ions at potential well of nanosecond vacuum discharge
The results of experimental study of generation of DD neutrons at the compact scheme of inertial electrostatic confinement realized on the basis of nanosecond vacuum discharge with deuterated Pd anode are presented at this review. Full modeling with electrodynamical code have recognized the appearance of virtual cathode and correspondent deep potential well at interelectrode space, that transforms it into something like nuclear microreactor. The appearance of neutrons at the initial stage of discharge as well as some specifics of hard X-rays bursts are discussing also.
