Charged particle therapy has been largely driven and influenced by nuclear physics. The
increase in energy deposition density along the ion path in the body allows reducing the …

Applied nuclear physics is an essential part of the research activity at many particle
accelerators. New, large accelerator facilities are currently under construction in Europe …

We present experimental results showing a laser-accelerated proton beam maximum
energy cutoff of 67.5 MeV, with more than 5× 10 6 protons per MeV at that energy, using flat …

Outstanding progress has been made in high-power laser technology in the last 10 years
with laser powers reaching petawatt (PW) values. At present, there are 15 PW lasers built or …
