摘要：

We show that electrons accelerated in plasma generated by available, or within reach, terawatt lasers can initiate positron and neutron production and a host of nuclear reactions. We propose and evaluate the environments and processes favorable for this phenomenon. which can be used to develop a practical table-top source of intense short pulses of positrons, gamma-photons, neutrons, and fission fragments.
