DEMONSTRATION OF ACTIVE NEUTRON INTERROGATION OF SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIALS USING A HIGH-INTENSITY SHORT-PULSE-LASER-DRIVEN NEUTRON SOURCE

Demonstration of active neutron interrogation of special nuclear materials using a high-intensity short-pulse-laser-driven neutron source

Abstract Detecting shielded special nuclear material, such as nuclear explosives, is a difficult challenge pursued by non-proliferation, anti-terrorism, and nuclear security programs worldwide.Interrogation with intense fast-neutron pulses is a promising method to characterize concealed nuclear material rapidly but is limited by suitable source ava
