Start-to-end simulations compare DD fusion and LWFA-driven photonuclear neutron sources, showing DD yields high-peak-flux monoenergetic neutrons while LWFA enables higher cumulative capture events via repetition.
On the other hand, many photons that do not convert to neutrons can pass out of the converter contributing background in the neutron-waiting material

Laser-Wakefield-Driven Photonuclear and Laser-Driven DD Fusion Neutron Sources for Fast Neutron Capture: A Start-to-End Simulation Study
Start-to-end simulations compare DD fusion and LWFA-driven photonuclear neutron sources, showing DD yields high-peak-flux monoenergetic neutrons while LWFA enables higher cumulative capture events via repetition.
