Abstract: The results of the ion source of the neutron generator upgrade, which makes it possible to operate in a CW mode, are presented. A magnetic trap consisting of permanent magnets (NdFeB) was developed. A 3-electrode extraction system equipped with a magnetic lens was used to extract the deuterium ion beam. Calculations are made for the formation of a deuterium ion beam with a current over 500 mA and an energy of 100 keV with practically no losses in the extraction system.

Keywords: extraction system, magnetic trap, neutron generator, ion beam.
