The fast development of high-power lasers (> 10^19 W/cm2) with ultrashort pulses (~ fs), and their applications as compact particle accelerators, are emerging as a promising alternative to conventional accelerators for producing neutron beams. Laser-driven neutron sources (LDNS) are especially attractive for nuclear physics applications based on the time-of-flight technique due to their short...
We will present a main experiment and an auxiliary one. The main experiment got signals of neutron induced nuclear reactions in the silicon bulk of a commercial thin photodiode. We used the HISPANoS neutron beam facility at CNA, Sevilla, Spain. The signal dataset is useful to reproduce the signals using femtosecond pulsed lasers, a more easily tool in the industrial environment. The auxiliary...
The characterization of the neutron and photon yields of reaction 51V(p,n)51Cr at energies close to the threshold have been performed at JRC-MONNET on October 2023.
To ensure a thorough measurement, we employed the time-of-flight technique to measure angle-energy neutron yields at various angles. The primary outcomes of our experiment include Time-of-Flight (TOF) spectra at different...
