Scientific paper

We report on the first irradiation of in vitro tumour cells with laser-accelerated proton pulses showing dose-dependent biological damage. This experiment, paving the way for future radiobiological studies with laser-accelerated protons, demonstrates the simultaneous availability of all the components indispensable for systematic radiobiological studies: a laser-plasma accelerator providing proton spectra with maximum energy exceeding 15 MeV and applicable doses of a few Gy within a few minutes; a beam transport and filtering system; an in-air irradiation site; and a dosimetry system providing both online dose monitoring and absolute dose information applied to the cell sample and the full infrastructure for analysing radiation-induced damage in cells.
