LhARA and the Ion Therapy Research Facility

LhARA formed the basis of a proposal to the Infrastructure Advisory Committee (IAC) of UKRI. The proposal was prepared as a cover sheet and a competed pro-forma (not posted on the wiki). The following links document the discussion of the "alignment" of LhARA & ITRF and will later contain links to information relevant to the development of LhARA within the framework of the ITRF.

• Meetings

Documents

• ​Anomalous Beam Transport Through Gabor (Plasma) Lens Prototype; T. Nonnenmacher et al.
• ​DOI Laser-hybrid Accelerator for Radiobiological Applications; G. Aymar et al., the LhARA consortium
• LhARA pre-CDR
  • pre-CDR documentation page
  • Pre-publication review of LhARA pre-CDR
• Executive and Lay summaries from the LhARA pre-CDR
• Managment annex from the LhARA pre-CDR
