Biological effectiveness on live cells of laser driven protons at dose rates exceeding 109 Gy/s

Biological effectiveness on live cells of laser driven protons at dose rates exceeding 109 Gy/s

The ultrashort duration of laser-driven multi-MeV ion bursts offers the possibility of radiobiological studies at extremely high dose rates. Employing the TARANIS Terawatt laser at Queen's University, the effect of proton irradiation at MeV-range energies on live cells has been investigated at...
