Global Characterization of a Laser-Generated Neutron Source
D. P. Higginson, R. Lelièvre, L. Vassura +17
Laser-driven neutron sources are routinely produced by the interaction of laser-accelerated protons with a converter. They present complementary characteristics to those of convent…

A Comprehensive Characterization of the Neutron Fields Produced by the Apollon Petawatt Laser
Ronan Lelièvre, Weipeng Yao, Tessa Waltenspiel +13
Since two decades, laser-driven neutron emissions are studied as they represent a complementary source to conventional neutron sources, with further more different characteristics…
