Handbook of Fast Neutron Generators

This handbook reviews those problems and methods of science and technology where the neutrons produced in the 3H/d, N/4He, and 2H/d, n/3He reactions play the main role. This two-volume set: - Discusses possible applications of these small generators as thermal neutron sources - Enables suitable topics to be selected for education and training, provides a wide range of experiments with the detection of neutrons and charged particles, including the study of shielding and the generator technology itself - Gives a review of important operational characteristics of neutron generators and the necessary instruments connected with these applications - Provides an account of recent results of fast neutron activation analysis in various fields.
