Laser-particle acceleration is an emerging area of physics that is expected to further significant future advances in modern cancer radiotherapy. An international team of physicists, which also includes scientists from the Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (FZD, Germany), has succeeded in accelerating protons to energies never before achieved with laser-particle acceleration. Radiation in...
