Laser-driven acceleration of ionizing radiation has rapidly progressed from theoretical models to reproducible experimental demonstrations. Within the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI), recent developments now enable systematic biological studies using laser-accelerated electrons, protons, and neutrons. The aim of this work is to present key experimental achievements and... -

Laser-driven electron acceleration schemes can be easily and reliably used to accelerate electrons in the energy band between 20 MeV and 200 MeV, termed Very-High Energy (VHEE). Such radiation quality is regarded as a promising candidate for novel radiation therapy schemes, owing to a favourable depth-dose deposition profile and the possibility of reaching very-high dose-rates required by...

In the context of radiobiology research, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) has become an established model for screening different radiation beams and modifiers in a complex organism, considering the convenient manipulation conditions and well-validated analyses for studying post-irradiation induced damage [1].

With the growing number of cancer patients requiring radiation treatment, advances in accelerator technologies are essential. ELI Beamlines explores laser-driven accelerators as competitive sources of ionizing radiation for therapy compared with conventional machines. Their spatially compact, potentially more economical architectures—and their distinctive temporal and dose-rate...

The ELIMAIA/ELIMED beamline at the ELI Beamlines user facility provides a versatile platform for multidisciplinary research with laser-accelerated ions. The system integrates high-power laser irradiation, and laser-driven ion generation with a flexible end-stations for studies in plasma physics, materials science, radiobiology, and cultural heritage. ELIMAIA (ELI Multidisciplinary Applications...

This presentation will focus on the strategies for absolute and relative dosimetry of laser-driven ion beams at the upcoming I-LUCE facility. The author will first present the experience gained at the ELIMED/ELIMAIA beamlines at ELI-Beamlines facility (Dolnì Brezanì, CZ), where advanced diagnostic systems have been successfully developed and tested. The main detectors employed include...

Laser-matter interaction can be an effective way for ion acceleration, according to different physical schemes [1]. The most advanced developments have recently provided proton beams with energies exceeding 100 MeV [2]. Other methods for particle acceleration regard the laser-triggering of nuclear fusion reactions, such as p-11B, for providing a wideband emission of alpha particles [3]. In the...
