לוח שנה משולב

I will present a review of research activity on developing laser plasma accelerators. This review will provide an opportunity to explain how laser plasma accelerators work, and to show the incredible evolution of their performances, which has in record time, allowed physicists to produce from compact laser system accelerators that deliver high quality particle beams. I will show some examples of applications we recently identified in medicine (radiotherapy, imaging), in biology, in chemistry (radiolysis), and in physics for materials science (gamma radiography for security). With a market of few billions of dollars per year, accelerators are used intensively in modern societies. I’ll discuss the pertinences of our approach with respect to market issues.
