Recent advances in hard x-ray production from porous silicon targets have been reported. Experimental data on efficient hot electron generation in plasma, created by 200 fs laser pulses at intensity in excess of 1016 W/cm2 are discussed. The assessment of the hot electron temperature in single laser shot was made using simple modification of the well known x-ray filter method. X-ray quanta with energy of approximately 80 keV were observed at the 'moderate' intensity of 2 X 1016 W/cm2, revealing the existence of the second non-thermal electron component with the 'temperature' of 30-50 keV. Finally, we discuss the feasibility to design 2.5 MeV neutron source with peak flux of more than 1020 neutrons using deuterium enriched nanowire metallic arrays.
