Generation of quasi-monoenergetic protons from thin multi-ion foils by a combination of laser radiation pressure acceleration and shielded Coulomb repulsion [PDF]
We study theoretically and numerically the acceleration of protons by a combination of laser radiation pressure acceleration and Coulomb repulsion of carbon ions in a multi-ion thin foil made of carbon and hydrogen.

Measurement of Proton Beam Distribution by Diamond Detector
Proton beam therapy (PBT) can achieve the effect of precision radiotherapy due to its unique Bragg peak. In the process of proton therapy, the peak can be accurately located to the tumor area, which can give the tumor a larger dose of irradiation, reduce
