Accelerating Accelerator Research for Radiation Therapy of Tumors with PIConGPU

Huebl, A.; Kluge, T.; Schramm, U.; Bussmann, M.

Laser ion acceleration for tumor therapy requires control of the plasma acceleration process. Here we present the incredients of our first principle simulations, providing control, insight and predicting scaling laws towards efficient laser plasma acceleration.
