Workshops on “ Instrumentation for Diagnostics and Control of Laser-accelerated Proton (Ion) Beams “

Instrumentation development:

physical foundation for our lofty goals - establishes what we know experimentally and why we believe it

companion development for new science & technology, complex machines & facilities (XFEL example)

still significant issues in Ion Beam Radiotherapy (IBRT) – eg. World Congress 2012 in Beijing:Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering





for laser-driven particle accelerator system: goal is ‘accelerator quality’

laser as an integrated component - source, diagnostics, controls

verify machine design

monitor & optimize performance

monitor & optimize performance

ideally noninvasive, online, prompt readout (at rep-rate),robust, single bunch/shot resolutions

correlate single laser pulse parameters with target state and single bunch parameters (at a rep-rate)

Back Row: Stuart Green, Martin Tolley, Markus Roth, Alessandro Flacco, Dario Giove, Paul Mckenna, Sargis Ter-Avetisyan, Sabine Reinhardt, Vincent Floquet, Carlo DeMartinis

Front Row: Julien Fuchs, Nick Dover, James Green, Ceri Brenner, Paul Bolton, David Neely, Rajendra Prasad, Ulrich Schramm, Giorgio Turchetti

First Workshop in 2010 was a good start

Diagnostics with Post-processing - RCF and Image Plates: diagnostic features, limitations, post-processing, dynamic range, calibration, imaging spectroscopy (spatial and spectral resolutions), dosimetry

Prompt, inline Diagnostics (rep-rated) – scintillators , CCD’s, MCP’s: diagnostic features, calibration, limitations




Spectrometry – Thomson: design and detection features, multi-pinhole technique comparison with RCF (imaging spectroscopy)

Correlated Plasma Diagnostics – TASRI (time and space resolved interferomtry with chirped probes) electron density and temperature (hot and cold)

manuscript draft is in progress based on this material presented at the First Workshop

Second Workshop Program indicates an appropriate continuation of this focus and healthy exchange…

- consider publishing additional new material based on this workshop

- consider website for workshop presentation slides and shared information (similar to suggestions from the Abingdon meeting)

we begin with a Special Thanks to Julien for Hosting the Second Workshop

Third Instrumentation Workshop in 2014 will be hosted by Markus Roth in Darmstadt (TUD)

Second Workshop Program indicates an appropriate continuation of this focus and healthy exchange…

- consider publishing additional new material based on this workshop

- consider website for workshop presentation slides and shared information (similar to suggestions from the Abingdon meeting)
