A transport beamline solution to control optically accelerated proton beams

摘要

Laser-target interaction represents a very promising field for several potential applications,from the nuclear physics to the radiobiology. However optically accelerated particle beams arecharacterized by some extreme features, not suitable for many applications. Therefore, beyondthe improvements at the laser-target interaction level, many researchers are spending their effortsfor the development of specific beam transport devices in order to obtain controlled andreproducible output beams.In this background, the ELIMED (ELI-Beamlines MEDical applications)project was born. Within 2017, a dedicated transport beam-line coupled with dosimetricsystems, named ELIMED, will be installed at the Extreme Light Infrastructure Beamlines(ELI-Beamlines) facility in Prague (CZ),as a part of the ELIMAIA (ELI Multidisciplinary Applicationsof laserâA ¸SIon Acceleration) beamline
