Ultra-intense MeV photon and neutron beams are indispensable tools in many research
fields such as nuclear, atomic and material science as well as in medical and biophysical …

In this study, we theoretically investigate the feasibility of using laser-wakefield accelerated
(LWFA) electrons for the photonuclear measurement of nuclear isomers according to the …

The study of stellar burning began just over 100 years ago. Nonetheless, we do not yet have
a detailed picture of the nucleosynthesis within stars and how nucleosynthesis impacts …

In the environment of a hot plasma, as achieved in stellar explosions, capture and
photodisintegration reactions proceeding on excited states in the nucleus can considerably …

The vortex photon beam induced nuclear reaction is studied. The interaction formalism of
nuclei with vortex photons is developed and incorporated into the statistical reaction model …

Abstract Shanghai Laser Electron Gamma Source (SLEGS) is a powerful laser-Compton
scattering (LCS) γ-ray facility that provides a quasi-monochromatic MeV γ-ray beam with a …

We investigate a novel scheme for brilliant attosecond γ-ray emission and high-yield
positron production, which is accomplished with an ultra-intense laser pulse incident upon a …

The characterization and radiography of special nuclear materials (SNMs) such as
plutonium and uranium is essential in various scenarios in the context of nonproliferation …

Photon-induced nuclear excitation (ie photo-excitation) can be used for production of
nuclear isomers, which have potential applications in astrophysics, energy storage, medical …

The smuggling of special nuclear materials (SNMs) across national borders is becoming a
serious threat to nuclear nonproliferation. This paper presents a feasibility study on the rapid …
