Laser-Driven Particle Acceleration Towards Radiobiology and Medicine

BuchKartoniert, Paperback
CHF191.00

Beschreibung

This book deals with the new method of laser-driven acceleration for application to radiation biophysics and medicine. It provides multidisciplinary contributions from world leading scientist in order to assess the state of the art of innovative tools for radiation biology research and medical applications of ionizing radiation. The book contains insightful contributions on highly topical aspects of spatio-temporal radiation biophysics, evolving over several orders of magnitude, typically from femtosecond and sub-micrometer scales. Particular attention is devoted to the emerging technology of laser-driven particle accelerators and their applicatio to spatio-temporal radiation biology and medical physics, customization of non-conventional and selective radiotherapy and optimized radioprotection protocols.

Autor

Antonio Giulietti is a physicist operating at INO (NationalInstitute of Optics, Italy). He has been CNR Research Director and Head of the Unit"Adriano Gozzini" of INO. He founded ILIL (Intense Laser Irradiation  Laboratory) in the CNR Campus of Pisa whichhas been operating for more than 20 years with scientific output andinternational collaboration making ILIL a primary reference in the domain oflaser-plasmas. AG is author of more than 200 papers published on internationalrefereed journals, mainly in the field of laser and plasma physics, plasmainstabilities relevant to Inertial Fusion, radiation from plasmas, laser-drivenparticle acceleration and their biomedical potential. AG has organized andchaired a large number of international conferences on these topics. He ismember of the International Advisory Board of the International Conference onHigh Energy Density Science, annually held in Yokohama. His research group hasbeen supported by CNR, Italian Ministry of Education, Italian Ministry ofHealth, European Union, Extreme light Infrastructure (ELI), CEA (France), JSPS(Japan). AG has been very active in teaching and tutoring students and youngscientists. Young scientists trained in the AG' lab are today Professors orResearchers in prestigious Universities or Research Institutions, includingUniversities of Pisa, Siena, Milano, Bordeaux, Oxford, Belfast, EcolePolytechnique in Palaiseau, CEA-Saclay, BMI-Berlin, Rutherford AppletonLaboratory. In the last ten years 2006-2015 AG devoted most of his work atstudying possible medical uses of laser-driven particle accelerators.  Experiments performed in Pisa and atCEA-Saclay led to the discovery of a high efficiency acceleration regimeallowing the production of electron bunches whose charge and kinetic energy aresuitable for radiotherapy. Those electrons were also used to drive a gammasources and produce photo-activation, so opening a perspective of interest fornuclear medicine. In the meantime AG promoted R&D studies to achieve apractical usability of laser-driven accelerators in radiobiology and clinics, alsoin collaboration with CEA-Saclay and University of Osaka. In this framework herecently published (2015) a review paper on Laser-Plasma Particle Sources forBiology and Medicine .
