Speaker: Shuhei Aramaki Institution: Photonic Quantum Therapeutics Laboratory, Hamamatsu University, Japan Abstract: Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)* requires prophylactic colectomy** by age 20-30, with significant quality-of-life consequences. Current alternatives offer limited efficacy. We explore endoscopic FLASH radiotherapy*** using laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) [1] as a potential alternative approach. Recent work demonstrated 100-keV electron generation using microcapillary targets at near-critical… Continue Reading Exploring Solid-State Target Strategiesfor Endoscopic FLASH Therapy:Applications to Hereditary Polyposis…Continue Reading Exploring Solid-State Target Strategiesfor Endoscopic FLASH Therapy:Applications to Hereditary Polyposis

Speaker: Kai Huang Institution: Kansai Institute for Photon Science, Japan Date: Friday, August 22, 2025 Abstract: Invented in 1979 by Prof. Tajima and Prof. Dawson [1], laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) has gained significant attention for extremely high acceleration gradient (> 100 GeV/m) and ability to generate ultrahigh-brightness electron bunches. In recent years, LWFA research has notable progress [2]… Continue Reading High quality electron bunch generation and ultrafast beam diagnostics in LWFA…Continue Reading High quality electron bunch generation and ultrafast beam diagnostics in LWFA
