Abstract:Laser Driven Plasma Accelerators (LDPA) can generate both characteristic and Bremsstrahlung x-rays in ultrashort bunches. Because of the high intensity of the laser pulses, these laser-induced x-ray sources can achieve peak dose rates compatible with the FLASH regime. At the Laser Laboratory for Acceleration and Applications (L2A2/USC), a setup for the irradiation of in vitro cell cultures with a laser-driven x-ray source has been developed. The suitability of this source for studying the influence of Ultra Hi… Show more
