proton and ion laser plasma acceleration 183
EXERCISES
9.1 Chapter materials review.
Discuss the advantages and challenges of particle beam therapy in comparison to X-ray therapy.
9.2 Chapter materials review.
Discuss the key requirements for the laser and the target that
may result in 200 MeV mono-energetic beams of protons in
laser plasma acceleration.
9.3 Mini-project.
Discuss and develop a plan to create a 250 MeV proton source
based on plasma acceleration, aiming for it to be applied in
the medical field. Select approximate laser parameters and
target parameters, and discuss their requirements. Discuss
and select a method for energy monochromatization or energy collimation/selection. Describe why you selected these
particular values of certain parameters (for target or laser,
collimation or monochromatization system, etc.).
9.4 Analyze inventions or discoveries using TRIZ and AS-TRIZ.
Analyze and describe scientific or technical inventions described in this chapter (e.g., isochronous cyclotron) in terms
of the TRIZ and AS-TRIZ approaches, identifying a contradiction and an inventive principle that were used (could have
been used) for these inventions.
9.5 Developing AS-TRIZ parameters and inventive principles.
Based on what you already know about accelerator science,
discuss and suggest the possible additional parameters for
the AS-TRIZ contradiction matrix, as well as the possible additional AS-TRIZ inventive principles.
