Assessment of Laser-Driven Pulsed Neutron Sources for Poolside Neutron-based Advanced NDE – A Pathway to LANSCE-like Characterization at INL

Technical Report Roth, Markus ; Vogel, Sven C. ; Bourke, Mark Andrew M. ; ...

A variety of opportunities for characterization of fresh nuclear fuels using thermal (~25meV) and epithermal (~10eV) neutrons have been documented at Los Alamos National Laboratory. They include spatially resolved non-destructive characterization of features, isotopic enrichment, chemical heterogeneity and stoichiometry. The LANSCE spallation neutron source is well suited in neutron fluence and temporal characteristics for studies of fuels. However, recent advances in high power short pulse lasers suggest that compact neutron sources might, over the next decade, become viable at a price point that would permit their consideration for poolside characterization on site at irradiation facilities.

Laser-driven ion acceleration via target normal sheath acceleration in the relativistic transparency regime

Journal Article Poole, P. L. ; Obst, L. ; Cochran, G. E. ; ... - New Journal of Physics

We present an experimental study investigating laser-driven proton acceleration via target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) over a target thickness range spanning the typical TNSA-dominant regime (~1 μm) down to below the onset of relativistic laser-transparency (<40 nm). This is done with a single target material in the form of freely adjustable films of liquid crystals along with high contrast (via plasmamirror) laser interaction (~2.65 J, 30 fs, I > 1 ´ 1021Wcm-2). Thickness dependent maximum proton energies scale well with TNSA models down to the thinnest targets, while those under ~40 nmindicate the influence of relativistic transparency on TNSA, observedmore »« less

Laser-driven ion sources for high-brightness high-purity ion beams

Conference Filuk, A B ; Ching, C H ; Cuneo, M E

Surface-plasma ion sources are critical to generating high-brightness, high purity ion beams on applied-B ion diodes. The source plasma must meet requirements for species, thickness, purity, degree of ionization, conductivity, formation timescale, and engineering feasibility. Laser ionization schemes have been used on high-power ion diodes with encouraging but inconsistent results in diode impedance and beam purity. The authors are characterizing two laser-driven Li{sup +} schemes for 100--200 cm{sup 2} sources: a single 10 ns Nd:YAG pulse at 0.3--1 J/cm{sup 2}, or the 2-laser LEVIS scheme. Recognizing anode surface contamination as a key issue in 10{sup {minus}5}--10{sup {minus}6} Torr pulsedpower vacuum,more »« less
