Patent Number: 
Section: claims

1. A process for creating isotopes using laser beams, comprising steps of:/1/ converting a target, comprising a fuel, to a plasma state, and/2/ generating particles with a set of laser beams and bombarding the target in the plasma state with the particles wherein:the particle generation is synchronized with the target conversion; andthe bombarding produces nuclear reactions between the fuel and the particles and creates said isotopes. 2. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step /2/ is repeated several times on the same target. 3. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step /2/ comprises irradiating a second solid, gaseous or liquid target with the set of laser beams. 4. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the set of laser beams used to bombard the target is a first set of laser beams, the target being converted to the plasma state by using a second set of laser beams. 5. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the target comprises a hollow depression, and, at step /2/, the particles are directed into the hollow depression. 6. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the target is surrounded by an envelope comprising an opening, and, at step /2/, the particles bombarding the target are directed through the opening to the target. 7. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the nuclear reactions include nuclear chain reactions. 8. A process for creating stable isotopes, radioisotopes, or nuclear isomers using laser beams, comprising steps of:/1/ converting a target, comprising a fuel, to a plasma state, and/2/ generating particles with a set of laser beams and bombarding the target in the plasma state with the particles, wherein:the particle generation is synchronized with the target conversion; andthe bombarding produces nuclear reactions between the fuel and the particles and creates said stable isotopes, radioisotopes, or nuclear isomers.
