Description
We present recent achievements towards laser-based particle accelerators gained on our in-house ultra-high intensity laser Draco. Electron acceleration experiments were performed, investigating relativistic non-linear Thomson scattering and laser-wakefield acceleration (LWFA), in case of the latter aiming especially for ionization injection while deploying advanced electron bunch structure diagnostics. Subsequent to our recent laser upgrade to the PW class, ion acceleration experiments towards tumor treatment are just within reach. Preliminary studies characterizing the generated proton beams are shown and put into perspective regarding upcoming in-vivo irradiation experiments.
