Laser driven dielectric accelerators (LDA) are vigorously studied in order to apply to various fields in recent years. Characteristics of the LDA output such as sub-micron diameter, atto-second bunch and high acceleration field are suitable for in-situ investigating the biological effects of low doses of radiation in a living cell. The output energy of 1 MeV is sufficient for sniping a cell nucleus or DNA. Although the electronic charge in the bunch is in the order of 10 fC, the tightly focused beam enable to cause a local damage in the cell. We have reported optimum structure parameters of dielectric in the nonrelativistic regime. The low acceleration efficiency of slow electrons by short laser pulses is the serious problem. The accelerator length, laser intensity, pulse width, and optical system must be adjusted to design the practical LDA. We present the design principle of the LDA for nonrelativistic electrons and present status of the pumping laser of us.

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.

  Recently several tunnel collapses have happened in the world. To prevent this kind of accidents, the non-destructive inspection for tunnel is seriously needed. Backscattering X-ray system which makes one-side operation possible is a very important way to solve this problem. But the backscattering X-ray systems using X-ray tubes could only get the superficial information of the concrete target*. Now we are using our 950 keV X-ray source to construct the backscattering X-ray system to detect the deeper part of the concrete target.
