— 由于大型中子设施数量有限且成本高昂，人们对紧凑型加速器驱动源的兴趣日益浓厚。在此背景下，正在深入研究采用激光加速电子束和离子束的激光驱动中子源的几种潜在方案。除了具有提供高亮度、方向性和超短爆发持续时间的中子束的潜力之外，激光驱动中子源还将通过闭耦合实验在成本效益、紧凑性和辐射限制方面提供进一步的优势。讨论了该领域的一些最新进展，显示了激光驱动中子束的方向性和通量的改进。
— Due to the limited number and high cost of large-scale neutron facilities, there has been a growing interest in compact accelerator-driven sources. In this context, several potential schemes of laser-driven neutron sources are being intensively studied employing laser-accelerated electron and ion beams. In addition to the potential of delivering neutron beams with high brilliance, directionality and ultra-short burst duration, a laser-driven neutron source would offer further advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness, compactness and radiation confinement by closed-coupled experiments. Some of the recent advances in this field are discussed, showing improvements in the directionality and flux of the laser-driven neutron beams.
