Abstract

Neutron production as a result of the reaction 2H(d, n)3He in a picosecond laser plasma is reported. A considerable neutron yield of 5×104 per pulse is obtained for the first time in a picosecond laser plasma on the surface of a solid deuterated target at laser radiation intensity of 3×1017 W/cm2.
