    Oral

    Increasing the population's access to new advanced cancer treatment and diagnosis methods is of pivotal importance. The ELI-NP infrastructure has embarked on this research path through the Dr. LASER project. The project is part of the National Health Program, pursuing innovative approaches in healthcare research, and it is co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the Romanian...

    Oral

    We present an overview of our facility and high-power laser infrastructure at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), highlighting recent progress in efficient laser-driven ion acceleration and the achievement of record proton energies. Using pulsed high-field magnets to capture and shape these proton beams, we can tailor their beam characteristics to match applications such as...

    Oral

    Laser-driven neutron sources have recently attracted significant attention as they offer the compactness and affordability required for the wide promotion of multi-disciplinary applications. The interest in laser-driven sources stems from the rapid progress in laser technologies over the past couple of decades, which has made high-rep multi-petawatt facilities now a reality. Thanks to the...

    Oral

    Laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) is the most compact technique to produce GeV electron beams as short as few fs. To achieve optimal LWFA conditions, the laser pulse energy, time duration and focal spot size must be properly set. The features of the accelerated electron beam depend on the mechanism underlying their injection into the plasma accelerating cavity. Techniques to achieve precise...
