Neutron resonance diagnosis technology has been developed worldwide for over ten years. By employing neutron beams with high transmittance, it is possible to measure the resonance spectral of samples in the neutron beam-line. We developed a new approach to generate short pulse epithermal neutron beams using relativistic intensity laser for the neutron resonance spectral diagnosis, which is known as Laser-Driven Epithermal Neutron Source (LDENS). Benefit from highly focused laser, the LDENS can provide high temporal accuracy with a compact volume of the source. Therefore, the minimal change of neutron resonance peaks caused by Doppler broadening effect of atom temperature could be detected via single pulse of LDENS. In experiment, we measured resonance at 4.28eV of a 0,1mm Ta plate with serial temperature points (300K-600K) and another resonance at 5.18eV of an Ag plate was recorded as a reference of the neutron signal. The experimental data shows the feasibility of isotope-discriminating atomic thermometer using a single shot of LDENS. More results will be reported in the presentation.

As a new approach of neutron generation with the ultra-short pulse duration and high flux, a Laser-Driven Neutron Source (LDNS) has been studied. A demonstration experiment of neutron resonance spectroscopy using a LDNS has been performed using the petawatt laser LFEX at the Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University. A CD foil target was used for an high-density plasma generation. Neutrons were produced by the impact of the high energy ions on a boron converter. A high-density polyethylene surrounding the boron converter slowed down neutron energy to epithermal temperature. A single shot neutron resonance experiment was carried out at a neutron beam line of 1.8m. The neutron resonance peak at 4.28 eV of Ta was measured with different temperature.
