From ultrafast laser-generated radiation to clinical impact: a roadmap for radiobiology and cancer research at the extreme light infrastructure (ELI)

Katalin Hidéghety, G.A.P. Cirrone, Katia Parodi, Kevin M. Prise et autres

Abstract The extreme light infrastructure (ELI) is emerging as a state-of-the-art facility providing international users with open access to ultrashort laser-driven particle bunches, ranging from a few femtoseconds to a few nanoseconds, for advanced radiobiology studies. ELI offers femtosecond-class laser pulses and …

ELIMAIA-ELIMED: a new user platform for radiobiological research utilizing laser-driven protons

Pavel Bláha, Kevin M. Prise, M. Borghesi, Francesco Paolo Cammarata et autres

The ELIMAIA-ELIMED beamline, powered by the L3 HAPLS petawatt laser, enables the irradiation of biological samples with intermediate-energy laser-driven protons (LDP) in a multi-shot regime. In the pilot radiobiological experiment, protons with a mean energy of ∼24 MeV and doses up to …

Global characterization of a laser-generated neutron source

Drew Pitney Higginson, Ronan Lelièvre, L. Vassura, M. Gugiu et autres

Laser-driven neutron sources are routinely produced by the interaction of laser-accelerated protons with a converter. They present complementary characteristics to those of conventional accelerator-based neutron sources (e.g. short pulse durations, enabling novel applications like radiography). We present here results from an experiment …

Dynamics of Nanosecond Laser Pulse Propagation and of Associated Instabilities in a Magnetized Underdense Plasma

W. Yao, Adam Higginson, J.-R. Marquès, P. Antici et autres

The propagation and energy coupling of intense laser beams in plasmas are critical issues in inertial confinement fusion. Applying magnetic fields to such a setup has been shown to enhance fuel confinement and heating. Here we report on experimental measurements demonstrating improved …

Expansion of a radial plasma blast shell into an ambient plasma

M. E. Dieckmann, D. Doria, Hamad Ahmed, L. Romagnani et autres

The expansion of a radial blast shell into an ambient plasma is modeled with a particle-in-cell simulation. The unmagnetized plasma consists of electrons and protons. The formation and evolution of an electrostatic shock is observed, which is trailed by ion-acoustic solitary waves …
