✦ Synopsis

Excitation of low-lying nuclear levels by inelastic scattering of laser-accelerated electrons was considered. The process has a threshold dependence on the laser intensity. The estimates give a short-term activity of certain isotopes up to 10^3^Cu for 10-fs laser pulses with energy 3 J for concentration of this isotope in the target about 10^20^cm^-3^.
