In a linear IECF neutron source, the effects of cathode inner diameter and interelectrode distance on neutron production were investigated. The neutron flux per discharge current was used as a metric, and the optimum conditions were examined based on the pressure dependence of this metric. This presentation discusses structural design guidelines for maximizing neutron flux.
