[HTML][HTML] Accumulated laser-photoneutron generation
I Cohen, T Cohen, A Levinson, M Elkind… - The European Physical …, 2024 - Springer
We present repeated generation of photoneutrons by double-pulse irradiation of ultrathin
foils. A~ mJ prepulse turns a foil into a 100-μm scale plasma plume from which a beam of …
