Abstract
Summary form only given. Inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) devices could potentially be used as neutron generators for a number of applications including neutron activation analysis, generation of medical isotopes, as a driver for a sub-critical fission assembly, etc. We present the system and the results of automated single and double Langmuir probe measurements on the Missouri University Spherical Ion Confinement Chamber (MUSICC).
