Abstract
Experiments on the interaction of an ultra-short pulse laser with heavy-water, ice-covered copper targets, at an intensity of 2×1019 W/cm2, were performed demonstrating the generation of a “pure” deuteron beam with a divergence of 20°, maximum energy of 8 MeV, and a total of 3×1011 deuterons with energy above 1 MeV—equivalent to a conversion efficiency of 1.5% ± 0.2%. Subsequent experiments on irradiation of a B10 sample with deuterons and neutron generation from d-d reactions in a pitcher-catcher geometry, resulted in the production of ∼106 atoms of the positron emitter C11 and a neutron flux of (4±1)×105 neutrons/sterad, respectively.
