Description
The ``Laser-hybrid Accelerator for Radiobiological Applications'', LhARA, is being developed to serve the Ion Therapy Research Facility (ITRF). ITRF/LhARA will be a novel, uniquely-flexible facility dedicated to the study of the biological impact of proton and ion beams. The technologies that will be demonstratedcan be developed to transform the clinical practice of proton and ion beam therapy (PBT) by creating a fully automated, highly flexible laser-driven system to:
* Deliver multi-ion PBT in completely new regimens at ultra-high dose rate in novel temporal-, spatial- and spectral fractionation schemes; and
* Make PBT widely available by integrating dose-deposition imaging with real-time treatment planning in an automatic, triggerable system.
The status of the ITRF/LhARA project will be described along with the collaboration’s vision for the development of a transformative proton- and ion-beam system.
