Abstract
VHEE beams (100-250 MeV) are being considered for treating deep-seated tumors using FLASH radiotherapy. Laser-plasma acceleration (LPA) through the Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) mechanism enables acceleration gradients orders of magnitude higher than conventional RF accelerators, making LPA an ideal candidate for compactly generating VHEE for clinical use. We present recent results on the dosimetric characterization of an LWFA-based VHEE source at ILIL and its application to in vitro radiobiology.File in questo prodotto:
