Radiation protection issues for laser-based accelerators.

Abstract:

:Radiation particles, besides their application to fundamental research, are widely applied in all fields of science (medicine, material science, chemistry, etc.). Up to today the radiations were produced by radiation sources such as accelerators, X-ray tubes, radioactive sources with the well-known problems of costs, parameters and safety. For the last few years, following the development of lasers able to focus ultra-short high-intensity pulses onto targets, the generation of ionising radiation by intense lasers has become possible. The paper will focus on some radiological protection aspects around the Frascati Laser for Acceleration and Multidisciplinary Experiments, 300 TW laser being commissioned at National Laboratories of Frascati.
