چکیده
The concept of a compact ion particle accelerator has become attractive in view of recent progress in laserdriven ion acceleration. We report here the recent progress in the laser-driven proton beam transport at the Photo Medical Research Center (PMRC) at JAEA, which is established to address the challenge of laser-driven ion accelerator development for ion beam cancer therapy.

Nowadays, due to the high costs and large dimensions of the conventional proton accelerators, other optimal methods for producing the proton beam have been studied. Using of Laser-driven proton accelerators is one of the important and new methods. In laser-driven ion acceleration, a highly ultra-intense laser pulse interacts with solid density targets and will create a plasma media that will ac...

متن کاملContribution of the Energy Amplifier to New Applications
Abstract Progress in particle accelerator technology makes it possible to use a proton accelerator to produce energy and to eliminate nuclear waste efficiently. The Energy Amplifier (EA), proposed by Carlo Rubbia and his group, is a subcritical fast neutron system driven by a proton accelerator. It is particularly attractive for destroying, through fission, transuranic elements produced by pres...
متن کاملProposed few-optical cycle laser-driven particle accelerator structure
We describe a transparent dielectric grating accelerator structure that is designed for ultrashort laser pulse operation. The structure is based on the principle of periodic field reversal to achieve phase synchronicity for relativistic particles; however, to preserve ultrashort pulse operation it does not resonate the laser field in the vacuum channel. The geometry of the structure appears wel...
