The `Laser-hybrid Accelerator for Radiobiological Applications', LhARA, is conceived as a novel, flexible facility dedicated to the study of radiobiology. technologies demonstrated in which have wide application, will be developed allow particle-beam therapy delivered new regimen, combining variety ion species single treatment fraction and exploiting ultra-high dose rates. LhARA hybrid accelerator system laser interactions drive creation large flux protons or light ions that are captured...
The `Laser-hybrid Accelerator for Radiobiological Applications', LhARA, is conceived as a novel, uniquely-flexible facility dedicated to the study of radiobiology. technologies demonstrated in which have wide application, will be developed allow particle-beam therapy delivered completely new regime, combining variety ion species single treatment fraction and exploiting ultra-high dose rates.

An electron plasma lens is a cost-effective, compact, strong-focusing element that can ensure efficient capture of low-energy proton and ion beams from laser-driven sources. A Gabor prototype was built for high density operation at Imperial College London. The parameters the stable regime its performance during beam test with 1.4 MeV protons are reported here. Narrow pencil were imaged on scintillator screen 67 cm downstream lens. converted into rings show position-dependent shape intensity...
