  1. 87. Ion Transport Beamlines for Laser Plasma Accelerators
    Dr Qing Ji (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)

    Theoretical and multidimensional computer simulations have shown that several hundred MeV or even GeV ions can be expected from the interaction between petawatt-level laser pulses with different targets. High ion energies, together with beamlines to achieve low energy spread with high controllability and stability can form the core of a new generation of ion accelerators. Such a high...

    Radiotherapy is one of three main approaches for cancer treatment. First application of ionization radiation in human medicine was done before almost 110 years. Since that time different types of particles were used for treatment. Even though most of the time photon radiation was used other particles have also very suitable properties for treatment. From very beginning radioactive isotopes...

    Laser based ion acceleration has the potential to serve as a more flexible solution as compared to conventional ion beam therapies. In order to explore these potentials, several groups from physics, biology and medicine have joint forces in Dresden. This talk will give an overview over the activities focusing especially on the proton source and the beam transport. The Dresden Ti:Sapph laser...

  7. 44. Design of the ELIMED in-vacuum transport beam-line
    Francesco Schillaci (LNS)

    Oral contribution
    Laser-target acceleration represents a very promising alternative to conventional accelerators for several potential applications, from the nuclear physics to the medical ones. However, some extreme features, not suitable for multidisciplinary applications, as the wide energy and angular spreads, characterize optically accelerated ion beams. Therefore, beyond the improvements at the...

  8. 98. Radiation protection of a proton beamline at ELI Beamlines
    Dr Sabrina Bechet (ELI-Beamlines)
    07/09/2016, 18:00
    Oral contribution
    ELI Beamlines is a new EU funded laser facility, located near Prague, Czech Republic. It will use laser-driven plasma sources to accelerate particles. It will host a dedicated proton beamline designed to reach energies up to 250 MeV. This beamline could be exploited to study possible future medical application of laser-driven beams. The first part of this paper introduces the beamline and the...

  9. 110. The application of plasma lenses with laser accelerated ion beams
    Dr Piero Antonio Posocco (Imperial College London)
    07/09/2016, 18:20
    Oral contribution
    The first plasma (Gabor) lens prototype operating at high electron density was built by the Imperial College London in 2015. The lens was tested initially with a "conventional" 1 MeV proton beam at the Ion Beam Centre of the University of Surrey and will be tested next at the IC Cerberus laser facility. In this article we are going to explain in detail how a plasma (Gabor) lens works, what...

  10. 97. Proton acceleration with a table-top TW laser
    Dr Michael Seimetz (I3M)
    07/09/2016, 18:40
    Oral contribution
    We report on the recent demonstration of proton acceleration from a tailor-made Ti:Sapphire laser system. In the first successful series of autumn 2015, running at 2 TW peak power and 100 Hz diode pump rate, protons up to 0.7 MeV have been spectrally characterised. Subsequently, at increased laser pulse energy and improved contrast, we have obtained maximum particle energies around 1.5 MeV....
