This book deals with the new method of laser-driven acceleration
for application to radiation biophysics and medicine. It provides
multidisciplinary contributions from world leading scientist in
order to assess the state of the art of innovative tools for
radiation biology research and medical applications of ionizing
radiation. The book contains insightful contributions on highly
topical aspects of spatio-temporal radiation biophysics, evolving
over several orders of magnitude, typically from femtosecond and
sub-micrometer scales. Particular attention is devoted to the
emerging technology of laser-driven particle accelerators and their
application to spatio-temporal radiation biology and medical
physics, customization of non-conventional and selective
radiotherapy and optimized radioprotection protocols.

ever outward, there continues to be a growing demand for an
introduction to this interdisciplinary research ?eld that is at
once widely accessible and ca- ble of delivering cutting-edge
developments. Our series aims to respond to this call by providing
a compilation of concise review-style articles written by
researchers at the forefront of this research ?eld, so that
researchers with d- ferent backgrounds as well as graduate students
can easily grasp the essential aspects. As in the previous volumes
of PUILS, each chapter of this book begins with an introductory
part, in which a clear and concise overview of the topic and its
signi?cance is given, and moves onto a description of the authors'
most recent research results. All the chapters are peer-reviewed.
The articles ofthis?fth volumecovera diverserangeofthe
interdisciplinaryresearch?eld, and the topics may be grouped into
three categories: coherent responses of gaseousand condensed matter
to ultrashortintense laser pulses (Chaps. 1-4), propagationof
intense laser pulses (Chaps. 5, 6), and laser-plasma interaction
and its applications (Chaps. 7-10). From the third volume, the
PUILS series has been edited in liaison with the activities of
Center for Ultrafast Intense Laser Science in The University of
Tokyo, and JILS (Japan Intense Light Field Science Society), the
latter of which has also been responsible for sponsoring the series
and making the regularpublicationofitsvolumespossible.Fromthe
presentvolume,the C-
sortiumonEducationandResearchonAdvancedLaserScience,theUniversity
of Tokyo, joins this publication activity as one of the sponsoring
programs.
This volume presents a selection of articles based on inspiring
lectures held at the "Capri" Advanced Summer School, an original
event conceived and promoted by Leonida Antonio Gizzi and Ralph
Assmann that focuses on novel schemes for plasma-based particle
acceleration and radiation sources, and which brings together
researchers from the conventional accelerator community and from
the high-intensity laser-matter interaction research fields.
Training in these fields is highly relevant for ultra-intense
lasers and applications, which have enjoyed dramatic growth
following the development of major European infrastructures like
the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) and the EuPRAXIA project.
The articles preserve the tutorial character of the lectures and
reflect the latest advances in their respective fields. The volume
is mainly intended for PhD students and young researchers getting
started in this area, but also for scientists from other fields who
are interested in the latest developments. The content will also
appeal to radiobiologists and medical physicists, as it includes
contributions on potential applications of laser-based particle
accelerators.
