Laser-driven accelerators are emerging as compact and potentially cost-effective alternatives to conventional cyclotrons and synchrotrons for proton therapy. Their ability to generate ultra-short, high-intensity pulses at extremely high dose rates creates opportunities for innovative treatment modalities such as FLASH radiotherapy. At the same time, the distinctive structure of laser-plasma...
