Laser-wakefield accelerators driven by high-intensity short-pulse lasers are a proven compact source of high energy electron beams, demonstrating GeV acceleration over centimetre distances. One of the proposed uses for these accelerators is the driving of hard x-ray synchrotron light sources, which in this context is known as betatron radiation. Such sources have been shown to be bright, have...

The growing interest in charged particle therapy is due to its extreme precision in the dose delivery to oncological patients and the quality assurance for these treatments is mandatory. Dedicated on-line monitoring systems, based on the detection of the secondary radiation produced by the interaction of particle beams and matter, have being developed in the last years. The detection of the ß+...

ELI-NP Gamma Beam System (GBS) that will be implemented in Magurele, Romania, will deliver an intense gamma beam, obtained by collimating the radiation emerging from an inverse Compton interaction, with unprecedented performances in terms of brilliance, photon flux and energy bandwidth in an energy range from 0.2 to 20 MeV[1,2].
A gamma beam characterisation system providing a measurement of...

There is a great interest for fundamental research but also for applied research, in producing energetic protons. These protons can be used for example in the field of thermonuclear inertial confinement fusion research or in medical domains as proton therapy.
One mean to obtain a beam of energetic protons consists in focusing a high intensity laser on a target. Various physical mechanisms of...

Oral contribution
A comprehensive study was conducted about the investigation of the natural/anthropogenic radioactivity of various environmental matrices.
Different diagnostics techniques were employed: high resolution HpGe gamma spectrometry, to quantify the activity concentration of radionuclides that emit gamma photons; liquid scintillation, to determine the activity concentration of tritium, radon and...
