Penning ion source operating principle

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the mechanics of a Penning ion source, particularly how ions can exit while electrons cannot. There is a specific interest in the application of deuteron gas ions for neutron generation using a tritiated target. Participants seek technical drawings and detailed explanations of the ion source's operation, including the roles of electric and magnetic fields in directing ions and electrons. Resources and examples of Penning ion sources are shared, but a comprehensive technical explanation remains elusive. The conversation highlights a need for clearer insights into the functioning of these ion sources for simulation purposes.

I'm sending this message to anyone who has knowledge about neutron generator. is there anyone who knows how does penning ion source works. I mean how could ions exit the holes but electrons can't exit. I didn't find any explanation about it on the web

Is one interesting in Penning ion sources in general, or more specifically for deuteron gas (ions) impinging upon a tritiated target for the purpose of generating neutrons?

For Penning ion source, here is an example - http://www.specs.de/cms/front_content.php?idcat=105

they are good. but I'm searching for a technical drawing of a penning ion source. so I'm going to simulate it in a computer program. and satisfied explanation of the the ion source's technical explanation for example ions go this way and electrons ge this way electric and magnetic fields exert a this particular vectorel forces... etc..
 
Hello everyone, I am currently working on a burnup calculation for a fuel assembly with repeated geometric structures using MCNP6. I have defined two materials (Material 1 and Material 2) which are actually the same material but located in different positions. However, after running the calculation with the BURN card, I am encountering an issue where all burnup information(power fraction(Initial input is 1,but output file is 0), burnup, mass, etc.) for Material 2 is zero, while Material 1...
