Abstract

A laser-driven time-limited light-sail acceleration scheme for proton tumor radiotherapy is proposed and demonstrated with combined three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations and microdosimetry simulations. It is able to deliver a single-shot spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) dose up to 1.76 Gy on a nanosecond timescale for shallow-seated tumors and around 0.56 Gy for deep-seated tumors.
