- Victor ZAMFIR (ELI-NP)
Proton radiation therapy for patients started in 1954. Until today more than 150000 patients have been treated. First decades of proton therapy were focused on treatments of skull base and (para)spinal tumors, e.g. chordomas, chondrosarcomas and sarcomas. Choroidal melanomas and prostate cancer built the largest groups of entities during the past 20 years.

Abstract
The idea we propose is based on avoiding the direct interaction between the laser and the atomic/molecular components of the thin film which the laser interacts with, in the purpose of saving the energy of the emergent laser. For this purpose the emergent laser interacts with free electrons generated by an electron source, then the laser accelerated electrons by the laser attract...
