Fig.10-2 Experimental setup of neutron transmission measurements using the Osaka laser-driven neutron source (LDNS)

When a C8D8 pitcher was irradiated by a pulsed laser, deuterons were generated and accelerated. The accelerated deuterons were injected into the Be catcher, and fast neutrons were produced. The fast neutrons were slowed down by a moderator and transmitted through a pair of thin sheets of indium and silver samples, which acted as mock nuclear materials. The transmitted neutrons were detected by a neutron detector installed at flight distance of 3.6 m.
