Аннотация:We overview our recent results on experimental observation of nuclear process in hot dense plasma created by focusing of femtosecond laser pulses with intensity below 10^17 W/cm2 on the target surface. In the first part of the paper we introduce special technique of target properties modification allowing us to increase both hot electron temperature and iontemperature. We successfully applied this technique to rise ion temperature in D-enriched Ti target up to 10-20 keV, thus observing 2.5 MeV neutron yield at intensity of as small as 10^16 W/cm2. We further discuss some possibilities arising from our recent experiments on low energy nuclear level excitation in hot dense plasma created by femtosecond laser pulses of moderate intensity.
