Investigations on Radiobiological effects induced by high dose rate irradiation with laser-accelerated protons.

最近，高强度激光离子加速已被认为是一种潜在的，节省成本的替代技术，传统的加速器用于放射治疗。在这项工作中，高聚束电流和短聚束持续时间，这是典型的激光加速的生物效应的调查报告。比较了激光驱动质子束高剂量率辐照与常规离子加速器产生的质子束辐照的放射生物学效应。

Recently, high-intensity laser ion acceleration has been suggested as a potential, cost-saving alternative technology to conventional accelerators for radiotherapy. In this work, investigations of the biological effects of the high bunch current and short bunch duration, that are typical of laser-acceleration, are reported. The radiobiological effects of high dose-rate irradiation with laser-driven proton beams are compared with those of beams derived from conventional ion accelerators.
