Oral and poster presentations are solicited in the following areas of research but are not limited to:
the development of high power lasers for proton and ion therapy
identifying the laser parameters necessary to produce protons and ions suitable for cancer treatment
laser-produced monochromatic x-rays for diagnostics
inverse Compton/Thomson scattering x-ray sources and compact laser driven hybrid synchrotron sources
laser and target technology for producing monoenergetic ion beams
transport and focusing of laser driven ion beams
radiobiology and cell damage studies using laser-produced proton beams
laser-driven medical isotope production
medical applications with laser-accelerated electron beams
plasma simulations of laser driven secondary sources of radiation
advances in diagnostic techniques to characterise and control laser produced ion and photon beams
critical comparison of conventional and anticipated laser accelerators for producing secondary sources suitable for medical applications.
