Probing the nature of the quantum vacuum is indispensable to resolve the crucial problems in contemporary physics; dark matter and dark energy in the universe. Probing the vacuum to date has been limited to either the macroscopic space-time via astronomical observations or microscopic space-time points at high-energy particle collisions. With high-intensity lasers, however, we anticipate to be...

iCAN project opens new and unmatched possibilities both for electron and ion acceleration. The availability of a huge number of coherent to each other laser pulses allows for efficient use of the laser field itself for electron acceleration. A periodic dielectric structure can be used at intensities of around 1012 W/cm2 and provide accelerating fields on the order of GV/m. Due to the...

The broad applications of relativistic proton beam, ranging from particle physics to nuclear energy generation systems, will be reviewed including a description of the relevant proton beam parameters and operational requirements for the proton sources and proton accelerators. The difficulties and limitations of the state of the art acceleration systems will be put in perspectives with laser...

Producing high peak and average power lasers with high efficiency, as proposed by the International Coherent Amplification Network (ICAN) group, will open a new era in particle accelerator physics and will allow us to construct the first high energy photon-photon collider (ggC). Among the various options for Higgs factories, a ggC has the distinct advantage of not requiring a positron source...

Beam optimization of laser-accelerated protons is a crucial point for the development of applications in various areas. Several directions need to be pursued, namely (i) optimization of the high-energy end of the spectrum e.g. for dense plasma radiography, (ii) optimization of the low-energy end of the spectrum e.g. for isochoric heating of matter, (iii) enhancement of laser-to-protons...

Applications
I will discussed the various techniques used to produce radioisotope for medical applications. The use of intense lasers require high average power that will become available with the ICAN concept. I will present the necessary laser parameters for an efficient generation of radio-isotopes with lasers.
