In this work, firstly the characteristics of the two lasers, the experimental configurations, and the different employed particle diagnostics (Thomson parabolas, radiochromic films, etc.) employed are introduced.In the first part, a ...

The laser driven acceleration of ions is considered a promising candidate for an ion source for hadron therapy of oncological diseases.

The report covers pioneering research on proton and ion generation in gas jets by the world's first picosecond TW CO2 laser developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

It is also highly effective as it is even more mass-limited than standard cryogenic jets. Furthermore, jets break up spontaneously anyway. If we can control the breakup, we can synchronize the droplet emission with the laser pulses.

Experiments conducted using a 200TW 60 fs laser have demonstrated up to 720 MeV electrons in the self-guided laser wakefield regime using pure Helium gas jet targets.

Ultrashort laser pulses enable the observation as well as the control of physical processes within atoms and clusters.
