摘要: Neutron production from a deuterated solid target irradiated by an ultraintense laser pulse is studied means of kinetic numerical simulations. A two-dimensional particle-in-cell code used to compute the velocity distribution deuterium ions accelerated during interaction with hot plasma. postprocessor has been designed evaluate slowing down these in unionized target, and amount neutrons produced nuclear reactions between ions. The energy angle distributions are computed compared recent experimental results.
