Fig.11-3 Newly-developed laser-driven proton irradiation system for radiobiological studies

High-intensity laser pulses are generated by J-KAREN laser system and focused onto thin plastic foil successively shifted by a target-driver. The laser focal spot is a "micron-sized" proton accelerator. The proton beams are separated by magnetic fields and irradiate cancer cells cultured in a capsule.
