Ditmire, and B. M. Hegelich We report on a novel compact laser-driven neutron source with an unprecedented short pulse duration (〈50 ps) and high peak flux (〉1018 n/cm2/s), an order of magnitude higher than any existing source. In our experiments, high-energy electron jets are generated from thin (〈3 μm) plastic ta... [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 184801] Published Mon Oct 27, 2014
