Compact Neutron Sources Utilizing Laser Plasma Ion Acceleration — •Benedikt Schmitz1, Oliver Boine-Frankenheim1, and Markus Roth2 — 1TEMF, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Darmstadt — 2IKP, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Darmstadt
The LOEWE NP goal is to develop compact accelerator based tabletop neutron sources, where the ion acceleration is induced by laser plasma interaction.
This setup can be split into two separate parts, first the laser plasma interaction causing the ion acceleration, second the ion to neutron conversion process.
Joining this different parts into one coherent model is difficult since the physics in both parts has different scales and therefore need different approaches. The goal is a unification of both parts to an effective model for the identification and optimization of all important parameters.
The present work focuses on the optimization and understanding of the laser plasma accelerated ion spectra via particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations and the development and understanding of neutron converter via Monte Carlo simulations. First results are presented.
