Zusammenfassung:In this article we present the description of compact neutron generators with gas-filled tubes that can be used for neutron detector calibration and stability control. The absolute neutron emission was measured with natural diamond detector and appeared to be in 3% agreement with a standard metrology monitor. Neutron generators design are discussed in regard to neutron emission anisotropy and stability improvement. Data illustrating the neutron spatial and energy distributions are presented.
