Scientific paper

The emission of nuclear particles (protons, deuterons, neutrons and alpha particles) was detected during the irradiation of different targets, including 30 μm thick Ti metal and TiD foils, as well as CH2-film, by an intense picosecond laser beam (I = 2.0 × 1018 W/cm2, λ = 1.053 μm). The nominally pure Ti metal target contained some adsorbed hydrogen (TiHx). It was shown, that the main component of emitted particles is consisted of protons/deuterons (Np ~1011 sr-1 per pulse) accelerated up to the energy Ep ≤ 0.8 MeV. Energetic 3 MeV protons and neutrons (~104 per pulse into 4π sr.) were detected in the case of TiDx experiments, and both can be considered as a signature of the dd-fusion in the target. The emission of α-particles (Eα ≥ 10 MeV, Nα ~ 104 sr-1 per pulse), never previously observed in experiments with solid (nonmetal-hydride) targets, was detected in the case of TiHx and TiDx foils. The emission of ions with mass A > 4 (Ni ~104 to 105 sr-1 per pulse) has also been detected on TiD/H targets. The energy of these ions, estimated with the shielding filters was found to be Ei ≥ 3.0 MeV per nucleon.
