Study of the Initiation of Nuclear Reactions in Boron-Containing Targets by a Beam of Deuterium Ions with Energy 50 keV at the HELIS Ion Accelerator

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate how deuterium ions initiate nuclear reactions in boron-containing targets below 50 keV.
• Utilized a HELIS ion accelerator to irradiate boron-containing crystalline targets with deuterium ions.
• Measured the yield of nuclear reaction products under specified energy conditions.
• Analyzed results to assess the effectiveness of ion irradiation on nuclear reactions.
• Higher yields of nuclear reaction products were observed in specific boron targets.
• Yield variations were noted depending on the target crystallinity and the ion energy used.
