Demonstration of active neutron interrogation of special nuclear materials using a high-intensity short-pulse-laser-driven neutron source by A. Favalli, D. C. Henzlova, S. Croft, O. Deppert, K. Falk, J. C. Fernandez, D. C. Gautier, N. Guler, C. E. Hamilton, K. D. Ianakiev, M. Iliev, R. P. Johnson, A. Kleinschmidt, M. Roth, T. N. Shimada, M. Swinhoe, T. N. Taddeucci

“…Interrogation with intense fast-neutron pulses is a promising method to characterize concealed nuclear material rapidly but is limited by suitable source availability and proven instrumentation. In this study we have pioneered a demonstration of such an interrogation method using a high-intensity, short-pulse, laser-driven neutron source that offers potential benefits compared to conventional neutron sources. …”
