This book tells the story of laser-driven particle acceleration — a field that has leapt from laboratory curiosity to the threshold of clinical reality. It is the story of how ultra-intense lasers, capable of creating conditions found only in stars, are now being harnessed to build compact, affordable, and precise particle accelerators for hospitals.With the development of laser technology, research on laser-driven particle acceleration has made remarkable progress. Many universities in China have researchers engaged in plasma acceleration studies, and the research results are increasingly attracting attention.
