Ultrashort Pulse Train Generation on a 100TW Laser Beamline Using a Delay Mask After the Final Focusing Optics
David Gregocki, Federica Baffigi, Lorenzo Fulgentini +2
Experimental results aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of a two-section delay mask for the generation of ultrashort pulse trains are reported. Based on the initial simulation…
Potential pof laser-driven VHEEs towards FLASH radiotherapy: Monte Carlo dosimetric study of single-field pencil beam scanning of a brain tumor
Leonida A. Gizzi, Damiano Del Sarto, Federico Avella +5
Radiotherapy with Very High Energy Electron (VHEE) beams is being extensively investigated for the treatment of deep-seated tumours, even in view of novel protocols based on the so…
SASE X-ray Free-Electron Laser driven by Resonant Multi-Pulse Ionization acceleration scheme
Federico Nguyen, Paolo Tomassini, Leonida A. Gizzi +2
Laser wakefield accelerators are on the way to provide GeV scale high-brightness electron beams for multidisciplinary applications. In the present work, electron bunches are studie…
A study of cross-relaxation and temporal dynamics of lasing at 2 microns in Thulium doped ceramic
Alessandro Fregosi, Fernando Brandi, Luca Labate +7
We report the characterization of the pump absorption and emission dynamic properties of a \tulio{} ceramic lasing medium using a three mirrors folded laser cavity. We measured a s…
Radionuclide Production for Dose Verification in VHEE FLASH Radiotherapy
Francesco Urso, Federica Baffigi, Esther Ciarrocchi +7
This study explores the production of radionuclides in a PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylate) phantom irradiated with Very High Energy Electrons (VHEE) beams as a novel method for dose ve…
Contribution of ALEGRO to the Update of the European Strategy on Particle Physics
B. Cros, P. Muggli, L. Corner +18
Advanced and novel accelerators (ANAs), driven a by laser pulse or a relativistic particle bunch, have made remarkable progress over the last decades. They accelerated electrons by…
