Photonuclear physics when a multiterawatt laser pulse interacts with solid targets

When a laser pulse of intensity 1019 W cm-2 interacts with solid targets, electrons of energies of some tens of MeV are produced. In a tantalum target, the electrons generate an intense highly directional γ-ray beam that can be used to carry out photonuclear reactions. The isotopes 11C, 38K, 62,64Cu...
