One of the state-of-the-art acceleration schemes, where high intensity laser pulses are modulated by dielectric grating structure such as quartz to accelerate charged particles, is dielectric laser acceleration (DLA)*. The difference of our DLA concept from other schemes is installation of a prism: the tilted wave-front in a prism shape refractive medium leads the suitable delay to match the phase advance of the electron beam. We plan to apply this method to build an on-chip radiation source which can hit and damage target elements of the cells. Such an application is useful in radiation biology, i.e., for investigation on bystander effects. The x-rays with small radius and adequate intensity required for this goal can be obtained using sub-micron beams from the small accelerating structure at high repetition rate (such as 50 kHz). In addition, the mass productivity of the DLA based on the consumer-grade laser and the photolithography has advantage compared to the conventional RF accelerator using high power klystrons. We will present field simulation and preliminary experimental results for demonstration on our concept of DLA.
