ABSTRACT
reaction is investigated using conventional accelerator beams and intense laser generated proton beams. Accelerator facilities used were at the Institute of applied Nuclear Physics (SINAP, Shanghai) and the 320 kV high voltage platform at the Institute of modern Physics in Lanzhou. There are different reaction channels, but in no case three alpha particles are emitted with each 2.7MeV energy. In the experiments at IMP Lanzhou we also used hydrogen doped boron targets and the alpha yield in this case is increased by approximately 30%. In experiments with intense proton beams at the Laser Fusion Research Center in Mianyang we observed up to 1010/sr/ alpha particles per laser-shot. This presently constitutes the highest yield normalized to the laser energy on target and opens a pathway to p11B fusion energy.
