Radiation damage to normal mammalian tissue in vivo with laser-driven protons at ultra-high instantaneous dose rate
Lieselotte Obst-Huebl, Jamie L. Inman, Jared De Chant +12
The differential sparing of normal tissues relative to tumor control observed at ultra-high dose rates, referred to as the FLASH effect, has recently gained considerable attention.…

Design Optimization of Permanent-Magnet Based Compact Transport Systems for Laser-Driven Proton Beams
Jared T. De Chant, Kei Nakamura, Qing Ji +8
Laser-driven (LD) ion acceleration has been explored in a newly constructed short focal length beamline at the BELLA petawatt facility (interaction point 2, iP2). For applications…
