We try to measure the neutrons produced in an experiment of laser induced proton source. The neutron spectral distribution in target normal direction was measured using neutron time-of-flight detector (30 mm diameter, 50 mm thick plastic scintillator coupled to fast Photomultiplier Tube). The distance between the scintillator and CR39 stack was about 5 m. The TOF detector was shielded against the X-ray by up to 250 mm of lead. TOF detector signal was recorded by a fast digital oscilloscope. An example of TOF detector signal is shown. The simulation of this experiment is now going with a Monte Carlo particle transport code. The comparison between experimental and simulation results will be discussed. Based on those, the future prospect will be discussed.

High-intensity laser and thin-foil interactions produce high-energy particles, hard X-ray, high-order harmonics, and terahertz radiation. A proton beam driven by a high-intensity laser has received attention as a compact ion source for medical and other applications. We have performed several high intensity laser-matter interaction experiments using a thin-foil target irradiated by Ti:sapphire laser (J-KAREN) at JAEA. The pulse duration was typically 40 fs (FWHM). The high-order harmonics (2nd 4th) were observed with the spectrometer in the reflected direction. The maximum proton energy of 40 MeV energy were observed at the peak laser intensity of 110 W/cm.
