Abstract
Spherically convergent beam fusion device accelerate ions, which are generated between outer anode and inner grid cathode, toward the spherical center. The collision of opposite direction ions give rise to fusion reactions. Spherically convergent beam fusion device is very simple and compact, therefore the device has a potential that is applied to a portable neutron source. An experimental device consist of a 20cm-diameter spherical mesh-type anode and 7cm-diameter open spherical grid cathode and was maintained at a constant pressure of about 1333 Pa by feeding argon gas.
