      abstract     = {Neutrons are a unique tool to alter and diagnose material
                      properties and excite nuclear reactions with a large field
                      of applications. It has been stated over the last years,
                      that there is a growing need for intense, pulsed neutron
                      sources, either fast or moderated neutrons for the
                      scientific community. Accelerator based spallation sources
                      provide unprecedented neutron fluxes, but could be
                      complemented by novel sources with higher peak brightness
                      that are more compact. Lasers offer the prospect of
                      generating a very compact neutron source of high peak
                      brightness that could be linked to other facilities more
                      easily.We present experimental results on the first short
                      pulse laser driven neutron source powerful enough for
                      applications in radiography. For the first time an
                      acceleration mechanism (BOA) based on the concept of
                      relativistic transparency has been used to generate
                      neutrons. This mechanism not only provides much higher
                      particle energies, but also accelerated the entire target
                      volume, thereby circumventing the need for complicated
                      target treatment and no longer limited to protons as an
                      intense ion source. As a consequence we have demonstrated a
                      new record in laser-neutron production, not only in numbers,
                      but also in energy and directionality based on an intense
                      deuteron beam. The beam contained, for the first time,
                      neutrons with energies in excess of 100 MeV and showed
                      pronounced directionality, which makes then extremely useful
                      for a variety of applications.The results also address a
                      larger community as it paves the way to use short pulse
                      lasers as a neutron source. They can open up neutron
                      research to a broad academic community including material
                      science, biology, medicine and high energy density physics
                      as laser systems become more easily available to
                      universities and therefore can complement large scale
                      facilities like reactors or particle accelerators. We
                      believe that this has the potential to increase the user
                      community for neutron research largely.},
