Abstract:
This generator is equipped with a first alpha particle detector (32) for monitoring the neutrons which are emitted within a first solid angle. According to the invention it is in addition equipped with at least one second alpha particle detector (52) for monitoring the neutrons which are emitted within a second solid angle which is different from the first solid angle. The system allows an object (2) that is placed in the first solid angle to be analysed by means of one or more gamma radiation detectors (34) that are placed in the second solid angle.
