A multi-MeV proton beam driven by a compact laser with an intensity of ∼10 20 W/cm 2 is used to induce the nuclear reaction 11 B(p,n) 11 C. The total activity of 11 C produced after 60 shots of laser irradiation is found to be 11.1±0.4 Bq. The possibility of thin layer activation (TLA) analysis using a high-intensity ultrashort-pulse laser is discussed.
