| Abstract: | We present results of the neutron detection in laser plasma experiment with CD2 nanowire target. A hybrid semiconductor pixel detector Timepix3 covered with neutron converters was using for the detection neutrons. D-D fusion neutrons were detected in a plastic converter through recoiled protons. Both the energy of recoiled protons and time-of-flight of neutrons (and thus their energy) were determined. We report (2.4±1.8) × 107 neutrons generated for 1 J of incoming laser energy. Furthermore, we proved that Timepix3 is suitable for difficult operational conditions in laser experiments. |
