N2 - An accelerator-based neutron source based on a vacuum insulated tandem accelerator (VITA) and a lithium target was proposed and created at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS in Novosibirsk, Russian Federation. The accelerator generates stable proton/deuteron beams with an energy of up to 2.3 MeV and a constant current of up to 10 mA. The facility is equipped with gamma, alpha, and neutron spectrometers and dosimeters. VITA is used to develop boron neutron capture therapy technique, radiation testing of promising materials, and many other applications. Recently, VITA has been actively used to measure cross-sections of nuclear reactions.The article will describe the facility, present its characteristics, and present the results of measuring the cross-sections of nuclear reactions of deuterons with lithium and protons with boron, which are important for materials science and foraneutronic thermonuclear energy.
