The voltage at the high voltage terminal of a first particle accelerator is stabilized particularly during pulsed operation by producing a compensating current at its accelerator terminal such as to maintain the voltage of the terminal constant. The compensating current is produced by a second particle accelerator coupled between the accelerator terminal and a high voltage terminal connected with a high voltage DC power supply. The charged particle flow through the second particle accelerator is such that the charge on the accelerator terminal of the first accelerator remains substantially constant even though the voltage at the high voltage terminal drops during simultaneous pulsed operation of both particle accelerators.

Voltage stabilized particle accelerator system and method

In a neutron generator of the type in which a tritium-titanium target is bombarded by a deuterium ion beam, the target half-life is increased by separating the beam with a weak magnetic field to provide three separate beams of atomic, diatomic and triatomic deuterium ions which all strike the target at different adjacent locations. Beam separation in this manner eliminates the problem of one type ion impairing the neutron generating efficiency of other type ions, thereby effecting more efficient utilization of the target material.
