Neutron beam source generation system, neutron beam source stabilization control system, and neutron beam source generation method

A neutron beam source generation method applied to a neutron beam source generation system, wherein the neutron beam source generation system comprises an accelerator, a target, and a calibration module, and the neutron beam source generation method comprises:

• using the accelerator to generate a proton beam that is transmitted in a first direction along a channel;
• measuring the proton beam using a current-measuring component of the calibration module to obtain a first current value;
• measuring the proton beam using a Faraday cup component of the calibration module to obtain a second current value;
• adjusting current of the proton beam according to the first current value, the second current value, or both;
• measuring the proton beam using a profile-measuring component of the calibration module to obtain a profile distribution;
• adjusting the distribution of the proton beam in a second direction and in a third direction according to the profile distribution using a pair of electromagnet components of the calibration module;
• and
• when the first current value, the second current value, and the profile distribution all meet preset values, removing the Faraday cup component so that the proton beam irradiates the target to generate a neutron beam source.

A neutron beam source stabilization control system disposed between an accelerator and a target, wherein the accelerator is configured to generate a proton beam that is transmitted in a first direction along a channel, and the target is at one end of the channel and generates a neutron beam source by irradiation of the proton beam, wherein the neutron beam source stabilization control system comprises:

• a calibration module disposed between the accelerator and the target, wherein the calibration module comprises:
• a pair of electromagnet components for controlling distribution of the proton beam in a second direction and in a third direction;
• a profile-measuring component for measuring the proton beam to obtain a profile distribution;
• a current-measuring component for measuring the proton beam to obtain a first current value;
• and
• a Faraday cup component for optionally shielding the proton beam and measuring the proton beam to obtain a second current value;
• wherein the calibration module controls the distribution of the proton beam in the second direction and in the third direction using the pair of electromagnet components according to the profile distribution, and the calibration module adjusts current of the proton beam according to the first current value, the second current value, or both.
