Abstract
In recent years, laser-driven accelerators have emerged as a promising technology for the development of compact and cost-effective sources of high-energy particles and radiation. Here, we introduce our research programme at the Laser Laboratory for Acceleration and Applications, which focusses on high-power laser systems, development of high-repetition rate targetry, and biomedical applications of laser-based accelerators. Our recent results include the generation of high-energy proton and ion beams through laser-plasma acceleration, which have potential applications in materials activation for medical imaging. We have also investigated the feasibility of using laser-driven X-rays and ion beams for radiobiological research, including FLASH therapy and hadron therapy.
