Since 2014, the DRACO laser system of HZDR got back into operation with both its original 150 TW beam and the new 1 PW beam. Its main goal is to study novel, laser-driven, plasma-based acceleration concepts and their potential to medical applications. Highlight experiments for ion acceleration were using a cryogenic hydrogen jet as pure proton, near-critical-density target with high repetition rate capability (collaboration with SLAC and European XFEL), ultra-thin liquid-film targets in combination with a laser pulse contrast cleaning technique (collaboration with Ohio State University), the implementation of a pulsed-solenoid-based proton beamline for in-vivo cell irradiation experiments as well as the first shots with a full PW laser beam.
