Laser Acceleration Innovation Center Cross-Platform
1. Basic information
The Beijing Laser Acceleration Innovation Center project is the second batch of cross-research platform projects jointly built by Beijing. The construction units are Peking University and Beijing Huairou Science City Construction and Development Co. Ltd , located in block 11 of Huairou New City. It is planned to build the world's most advanced technology and the most complete functional laser acceleration technology and application research and development platform, including 200TW laser and target range、laser proton acceleration application research platform、process support platform、laser proton radiotherapy system research and development platform、laser-driven gamma light source research platform 、laser-driven wide spectrum coherent light source research platform, a total of six platforms. The total construction area of the project is 30,000 square meters, with a total investment of 423.8 million yuan, The project has been started in December 2019, and it is scheduled to be completed and accepted in June 2022.
2. Research Contents
The center will carry out pioneering research on the generation of laser-driven high-energy charged ion beams and their applications in fusion energy, space radiation simulation, biological irradiation and ultrafast ion beams applications, and promote the integration of laser accelerators with energy, space, biology and materials; It supports the major instrument special project of the Ministry of Science and Technology " Research and Application Demonstration of Petawatt Laser Proton Accelerator Device" (2019.12-2030.12), it has made breakthrough in the key technology of large-scale medical proton radiotherapy equipment urgently needed by the country; The project will also build and improve the process support platform to provides a strong guarantee and support for the achievement of the scientific research objectives, It also lays the foundation for the subsequent integration of production, education and research.
3. Core tasks
