Abstrakt: The high-density plasma, generated by high-power lasers, is considered as suitable environment for study of processes in astrophysical objects and for production of energy from fusion of light nuclei. Intense efforts are spent on both experimental and theoretical investigations. Recently, the targets with nano-structure were introduced and generation of high yield of neutrons per consumed energy was observed. The experiment at CLAPA facility at Peking University was performed in order to verify these claims. The group from IEAP used Timepix-3 detectors and despite harsh environment was able to observe neutrons from deuterium fusion. Further experiments are planned in Peking University or elsewhere in the near future.
