- Abstract
Cold neutrons are good probe for nano meter scale objects. While some huge facilities as spallation neutron sources are under construction, small local (satellite) neutron sources will help to test new ideas on research. Such small ones are considered to be complementary parts of the huge facilities. Because the threshold energy of the d-d reactions is fairly low, irradiation of deuterated polyethylene (CD2) target by laser induced energetic deuterons may generate neutrons. A preliminary experiment performed with 1TW laser irradiating CD2 foil just before another thick CD2 target is described.
