The fundamental idea of Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) is reviewed. An ultrafast
intense laser pulse drives coherent wakefields of relativistic amplitude with the high phase …

Compact, tunable, radially symmetric focusing of electrons is critical to laser-plasma
accelerator (LPA) applications. Experiments are presented demonstrating the use of a …

A compact laser plasma accelerator (CLAPA) that can stably produce and transport proton
ions with different energies less than 10 MeV,< 1% energy spread, several to tens of pC …

In order to implement radiotherapy based on a laser accelerator, it is necessary to precisely
control the spatial distribution and energy spectrum of the proton beams to meet the …

An improved method to unfold the space-resolved proton energy distribution function of
laser-accelerated proton beams using a layered, radiochromic film (RCF) detector stack has …

The study of radiation biology on laser-based accelerators is most interesting due to the
unique irradiation conditions they can produce, in terms of peak current and duration of the …

Laser ion acceleration provides for compact, high-intensity ion sources in the multi-MeV
range. Using a pulsed high-field solenoid, for the first time high-intensity laser-accelerated …

Recent developments for the delivery of proton and ion beam therapy have been significant,
and a number of technological solutions now exist for the creation and utilisation of these …

To make use of laser-accelerated protons in real-world applications, specially-designed
beamlines are required to control and improve the quality of the beam. At Peking University …

Active plasma lenses (APLs) have been proved as an effective device for focusing charged
particles. In this paper, we have theoretically studied the feasibility of using a discharged …
