Front Surface Deuteron Acceleration•Activation of 10 B to 11 C is achieved only by illuminating deuterons on thefront surface.•No activation when deuterons were on the back surface, or withoutdeuterons (i.e. no production of 11 C detected from 11 B (p,n) 11 C reaction).•Deuterons have about ½ the E maxof the measured protonsCounts/2 min1000100I las =6x10 18 W/cm 2Detection efficiency 15%Decay <strong>for</strong> 11 CLaserCDMylar filmDeuteronsBoronsample10B11Cn100 10 20 30 40 50 60 70Time after shot (min)10B(d,n) 11 C reactionK.
