Description:

The objective of this proposal is to conduct radiobiological studies with cell cultures using ultraintense protons accelerated by ultrashort laser pulses. The multidisciplinary nature of the proposal requires collaboration from research groups that bring expertise in different areas, particularly laser-plasma interactions, ion beam control, nuclear physics, medical physics, and cell biology—a combination that is unlikely to be found within a single institution.
