Abstract

High energy protons with the energy up to 10 MeV were accelerated in the forward direction using a tabletop laser with focusing intensity of 6 X 10¹⁸W/cm². When a deuterated polystyrene was deposited on a front surface of a Mylar film and a boron sample was placed behind the laser target we observed the production of approximately 10⁵ atoms of positron active isotope ¹¹C from the reaction ¹⁰B(d,n)¹¹C. The activation results suggest that deuterons were accelerated from the front surface of the laser target.
