    The pursuit of compact, high-brightness particle and radiation sources has driven significant advancements in laser technology, emphasizing improved efficiency and repetition rates [1]. These developments have led to the emergence of a new generation of ultrafast high-power laser systems operating at high repetition rates worldwide.

    In 2024, a new high-power laser facility called "I-LUCE"...

    The propagation of electromagnetic waves in plasmas is allowed up to a maximum density (critical density) at which the pulsation of the wave W equals the plasma frequency Wp. However, at high intensities some phenomena arise which allow electromagnetic radiation to penetrate regions of the plasma at density higher than the critical one. Some of these phenomena will be presented here.

    Plasma acceleration is a novel technique for a large variety of applications, including radiation sources of new generation. X-ray sources based on betatron radiation from plasma accelerators hold promise as compact, innovative and highly accessible solutions for radiation users. The key feature that makes these sources unique, lies in the shortness of the pulses delivered, falling in the...

    Crystalline based undulators are breakthrough devices for the development of novel gamma-ray Light Sources (LS). These devices, operating at photon energies from 100 keV up to GeV, represent a new approach for gamma ray production. Taking advantage of the channelling phenomena, it is possible to expose of an oriented crystal (linear, bent or periodically bent) to the relativistic particles...

    The development of intense laser sources and of accelerators, capable of providing medium energy high quality electron beams (e-b), has paved the way to the construction of X-ray sources, with significantly large brightness. Even though, the best performing X-ray beams are those provided by Synchrotron or FEL devices, the CBS’s (Compton Backscattered Source) are becoming effective competitors...

    Very High Energy Electron (VHEE) radiotherapy is gaining attention for its potential to revolutionize cancer treatment [1]. VHEE employs high-energy electrons (~250 MeV) accelerated to extremely high speeds, which are precisely targeted at deep-seated tumors. This method offers significant penetration and optimal dose distribution, effectively targeting tumors while sparing healthy tissues....
