Experimental evidence of Radiation-Induced Conductivity (n-RIC) in PE and PTFE materials caused by ultra-short pulses of 14 MeV neutrons in inertial confinement fusion

In this paper we perform exploratory study of short pulses of 14 MeV neutron obtained by laser inertial confinement fusion. We focus on the neutron Radiation-Induced Conductivity (n-RIC) and we show similarities and differences with the classical RIC obtained from photon or charged particles (electr...

Summary:In this paper we perform exploratory study of short pulses of 14 MeV neutron obtained by laser inertial confinement fusion. We focus on the neutron Radiation-Induced Conductivity (n-RIC) and we show similarities and differences with the classical RIC obtained from photon or charged particles (electron) beams. The n-RIC responses of two insulating linear polymers is experimentally compared: polyethylene (CH2) n and polytetrafluoroethylene (CF2) n .
