Neutrons are powerful tools for investigating the structure and properties of materials used in science and technology. Recently, laser-driven neutron sources (LDNS) have attracted the attention of different communities, from science to industry, in a variety of applications, including radiography, spectroscopy, security, and medicine. However, the laser-driven ion acceleration mechanism for neutron generation and for establishing the scaling law on the neutron yield is essential to improve the feasibility of LDNS. In this paper, we report the mechanism that accelerates ions with spectra suitable for neutron generation. We show that the neutron yield increases with the fourth power of the laser intensity, resulting in the neutron generation of $$3times10^{11}$$ in $$4pi$$ at a maximum, with $$1.1times10^{19}$$ Wcm$$^{-2}$$, 900 J, 1.5 ps lasers. By installing a "hand-size" moderator, which is specially designed for the LDNS, it is demonstrated that the efficient generation of epithermal (0.1-100 eV) neutrons enables the single-shot analysis of composite materials by neutron resonance transmission analysis (NRTA). We achieve the energy resolution of 2.3% for 5.19-eV neutrons 1.8 m downstream of the LDNS. This leads to the analysis of elements and isotopes within sub-$$mu$$s times and allows for high-speed nondestructive inspection.

High penetration power of neutrons is potentially useful for realizing opaque object analysis in non-destructive way. Large-scale particle accelerators and nuclear reactors are mostly used for development of neutron analyzing method. A Laser-Driven Neutron Source (LDNS) has been proposed as a new approach of neutron generation for non-destructive analysis. Demonstration experiments on neutron resonance measurement ware performed at ILE, Osaka Univ., Japan. The Peta-watt laser LFEX was used to shoot a CD (deuterated plastic) foil target to produce accelerated charged deuterons. Neutrons are generated by nuclear reaction between a cylindrical beryllium and the accelerated deuteron, and then moderated by a high-density polyethylene (HDP). Neutrons of 1$$sim$$20 eV were observed with a neutron detector at a 1.8 m using neutron resonance diagnosis technology. This report describes the results of the first experimental demonstration.

大阪大学のLFEXレーザー施設において、大強度レーザーを用いたパルス中性子源(LDNS)の開発およびそれを利用した応用研究を進めている。レーザーは、パルス巾が1.5psで、最大出力は、1kJ(1.5$$times$$10$$^{19}$$ Wcm$$^{-2}$$である。開発した中性子源は1cm程度の大きさで、数十マイクロメータに収束したレーザーをターゲットに照射し、それによって生成したMeVもの高速イオン(水素や重水素粒子)を直径5mmのベリリウムに当てて、核反応により中性子を生成するものである。中性子の生成量は、1ショットあたり10$$^{11}$$で、この生成量は、入射エネルギーの4乗で増加することが分かった。さらに、生成した中性子を数cmの大きさのモデレータで減速させ、離れた位置に設置した中性子検出器により、中性子発生から検出までの飛行時間を測定するTOF測定を行った。試料を透過させて中性子の減衰を調べる実験を行った結果、核反応の共鳴による減衰の観測に成功した。

Neutron resonance diagnosis technology has been developed on reactors and accelerators for over ten years. By employing neutron beams with high transmittance, it is possible to analyse elementary composition, internal temperature and shock waves of thick objects in a non-destructive way. 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). The neutron resonance measuring experiment was implemented at ILE, Osaka Univ. with peta-watt laser LFEX. The experimental results in 2020 demonstrated that LDENS is applicable for neutron resonance measurement. In 2021 experiments, we developed the system to record neutron spectrum with higher quality. Multiple resonance peaks of various isotopes with different temperature were clearly measured. The presentation will introduce the experimental results and discussions including characteristic evaluation of LDENS and temperature dependency of neutron resonance peaks.
