58th Annual Conference of the Particle Therapy Co-Operative Group (PTCOG)

The LARA Radiobiology Facility for the Centre for the Clinical Application of Particles

Abstract

The Centre for the Clinical Application of Particles (CCAP) is an interdisciplinary collaboration to develop the technologies, systems, techniques and capabilities necessary to deliver a paradigm shift in the clinical exploitation of particles.

The CCAP aims to deliver a broad programme of measurement of the radiobiological effect of particle beams and systematic studies of radiobiological mechanisms using a laser-driven ion source. The design of the Laser Accelerator for Radiobiological Applications (LARA) facility will be presented.
