A neutron generator is a device used to produce neutrons, which are neutral subatomic particles that play a crucial role in various applications, including nuclear physics, nuclear medicine, and neutron radiography. Neutron generators can be used for a variety of purposes, such as: 1. **Nuclear Research**: In laboratories for studying nuclear reactions and fundamental physics. 2. **Medical Applications**: In cancer treatment, particularly in neutron capture therapy, where targeted neutron irradiation is used to destroy tumor cells.
