[en] Powerful table-top lasers are now available in the laboratory and can be used to induce nuclear reactions. We report the first demonstration of nuclear fission using a high repetition rate table-top laser with intensities of 1020 W/cm2. Actinide photo-fission has been achieved in both 238U and 232Th from the high-energy Bremsstrahlung radiation produced by laser acceleration of electrons. The fission products were identified by time-resolved γ-spectroscopy. (authors)
