Laser Proton Acceleration with a 150 TW laser system — •Stephan Kraft, Karl Zeil, Josefine Metzkes, Tom Richter, Stefan Bock, Uwe Helbig, Thomas Cowan, and Ulrich Schramm — Forschungszentrum Dresden Rossendorf, Bautzener Landstraße 400, 01328 Dresden

Recent success in laser-driven particle acceleration has increased interest in laser-generated accelerator-quality beams. At the Forschungszentrum Dresden - Rossendorf effords are made to produce and charaterize ion beams suitable for applications. During the last two years the 150 TW laser system DRACO as well as a target site have been commisioned and first experiments on ion acceleration have been performed.

In order to investigate the influence of laser accelerated protons on a cell sample a cell irridation site equioped with an energy filtering system has been setup. In this poster we want to present the experimental setup for proton acceleration as first results on energy scaling.
