Development of Neutron source by deuterium cluster explosion

  • 1. KAERI, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

We are studying a system which can produce high-energy neutrons by the interaction of intense lasers with deuterium clusters. The system consists of a reaction chamber with a gas puff nozzle for cryogenically cooled deuterium cluster generation, femtosecond high power laser, focusing optics, neutron detectors, and so on. Diameter of nozzle orifice is 0.5mm, and the whole nozzle is cooled down to 100 .deg. K by a liquid nitrogen jacket. Scintillation detectors and CR-39 plastic track detectors are used for neutron detection. Laser beam focusing optics are composed of a f/10 lens and micro-positioning devices
