LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Neutron production from picosecond laser irradiation of deuterated targets at intensities of ?
Abstract
Neutron fluxes of up to 0741-3335/40/2/001/img9 were measured when planar deuterated targets were irradiated with 1.3 ps FWHM (full width at half maximum) laser pulses at a wavelength of 1054 nm and focused intensities up to 0741-3335/40/2/001/img10. The neutron energy spectra are consistent with an angularly dispersed beam target interaction, whereas a thermonuclear source is considered unlikely.
