Abstract:
Investigations of 7Li (p,n) 4Be reactions using Cu and CH primary and LiF secondary targets were performed using the VULCAN laser [C.N. Danson et al., J. Mod. Opt. 45, 1653 (1997)] with intensities up to 3×101 9 W cm−2. The neutron yield was measured using CR-39 plastic track detector and the yield was up to 3×108 sr−1 for CH primary targets and up to 2×108 sr−1 for Cu primary targets. The angular distribution of neutrons was measured at various angles and revealed a relatively anisotropic neutron distribution over 180° that was greater than the error of measurement. It may be possible to exploit such reactions on high repetition, table-top lasers for neutron radiography.
