  An overview of recent laser cooling activities with relativistic heavy ion beams at the ESR (GSI, Darmstadt, Germany) and the CSRe (IMP, Lanzhou, China) storage rings will be presented. Some of the latest results will be shown and new developments concerning xuv-detector systems and cw and pulsed laser systems will be addressed. Finally, plans for laser cooling (& spectroscopy) at the future facility FAIR in Darmstadt will be presented, focusing on the SIS100.

Protons provide superior radiotherapy benefits to patients, but immense size and cost of the system limits it to only few centers worldwide. Proton acceleration on μm scale via high intensity laser is promising to reduce size and costs of proton therapy, but associated beamlines are still big and massive. Also, in contrast to conventionally accelerated quasi-continuous mono-energetic pencil beams, laser-driven beams have distinct beam properties, i.e. ultra-intense pico-sec bunches with large energy spread and large divergences, and with low repetition rate. With new lasers with petawatt power, protons with therapy related energies could be achieved, however, the beam properties make it challenging to adapt them directly for medical applications. We will present our compact beamline solution including energy selection and divergence control, and a new beam scanning and dose delivery system with specialized 3D treatment planning system for laser-driven proton beams. The beamline is based on high field iron-less pulsed magnets and about three times smaller than the conventional systems*, and can provide high quality clinical treatment plans**.
