  • Patent number: 11510308
    Abstract: A neutron beam generating device includes a supporting base, an outer shell, a target material, and a first pipe. The outer shell surrounds a rotating axis, rotatable engages the supporting base, and has a first opening. The target material is disposed in the outer shell. The first pipe extends from the first opening of the outer shell along the rotating axis to the target material. The first pipe is configured to transmit an ion beam to bombard the target material to generate a neutron beam.

  • Patent number: 10791618
    Abstract: A neutron beam source generator is provided, which includes an accelerator connecting to a beryllium target through a channel, a filter and a collimator. The beryllium target is disposed at an end of the channel and adjacent to the filter. The filter is disposed between the beryllium target and the collimator. The channel and the beryllium target have an angle ? therebetween, and the angle ? is between 0° and 90°. The channel and the direction normal to the surface of the filter have an angle ? therebetween, and the angle ? is between 0° and 90°. The cross-section of the channel is not circular.
