Continuous high-yield fast neutron generation with few-cycle laser pulses at 10 Hz for applications

We present a laser-based neutron source that produces 1.8×10^{5}neutrons/s with a conversion rate of 7.8×10^{5}neutrons/J. Laser pulses of 12 fs and 23 mJ were focused onto a 430-nm-thick heavy water liquid sheet at a 10 Hz repetition rate. The resulting peak intensity of 4×10^{18}W/cm^{2} accelerat...
