Descrizione
Laser plasma electron accelerators can produce very high energy electron beams up to GeV level in <100 m2 size experimental rooms. This is possible since plasma can sustain 1000x stronger accelerating gradients than conventional radio-frequency linear accelerators. At ELI Beamlines user facility the L3-HAPLS laser has been used in the ELBA beamline to generate electron beams up to 500 MeV at 3.3 Hz repetition rate. These electron beams are available to users for preclinical experiments. The peak dose rate of these beams has been estimated by Monte Carlo simulations with the code FLUKA. Dosimetry has been performed with Gafchromic films.
