Now, world experts are seeking active debris removal that will be essential in the near future to ensure the sustainability of space activities.

A clear mono-energetic peak at 2.5 MeV was observed, which was boosted in energy in the forward direction by the beam fusion kinetics. In 2010 Higginson et al. continued the work on neutron production using the LLNL TITAN laser system 6 ) and obtained 1.8 × 10 9 n/sr (cid:514) 1 using LiF as a converter and 120 J of energy. They calculated those numbers to be suf fi cient enough for neutron resonance spectroscopy as a possible application. A year later the same group succeeded in getting 8 × 10 8 n/sr (cid:514) 1 via the same reaction using 360 J of laser energy on the same facility. 7 ) This time they also increased the neutron energy up Ultra-intense lasers have demonstrated the capability of accelerating short pulses of intense ion beams. These ion beams have been used to generate short bursts of neutrons by irradiating a converter in close distance to the source, making this scheme a very compact and bright source of neutrons up to more than 100 MeV in energy. Using novel laser ion acceleration mechanisms directed beams of neutrons can be generated, which increases the brightness of these sources compared to previous attempts. We review the recent research and present experimental data using a mechanism based on relativistic transparency to drive the most intense laser driven neutron source and use them for fi rst applications.","PeriodicalId":308244,"journal":{"name":"The Review of Laser Engineering","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132200555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
