1. Furthermore, ways to create and accelerate deuterons, α-particles and H− atoms were developed.

2. Definition of Cyclotron : an accelerator in which charged particles (such as protons, deuterons, or ions) are propelled by an alternating electric field in a constant magnetic field Examples of …

3. The neutron-absobing wall (54) is at least partially covered by a lining (56) capable of releasing neutrons when impacted by deuterons that are carried along with the ion beam (15) through the containment space (58).

4. The method uses a modification of the well-known Crockcroft and Walton experiment used to disintegrate lithium-6 or lithium-7 (21) into high energy alpha particles by bombarding the lithium with either high energy deuterons or protons (11) along with a beam of electrons (17).
