    Abstract

    Concrete suggestion of producing neutrons using laser light is put forward. Also described are the reasons for selecting LiD as preferential target, and dependence of neutron yield N on the incident light energy E and the focus range. In addition, preparation of LiD targete, the experimental demonstration of neutron and X-ray together with some issues of quantitative measurement are discussed. To make the facility compact, the author proposed that chemicals might be used instead of capacitors.
