A multi-MeV alpha particle source via proton-boron fusion driven by a 10-GW tabletop laser

A multi-MeV alpha particle source via proton-boron fusion driven by a 10-GW tabletop laser

Revived interest in proton-boron fusion has been fuelled by new laser matter interaction schemes with several possible applications. The authors report on a tabletop laser experiment that observes proton-boron fusion with an emphasis on the secondary cross-section peak around 150 keV.
