  Applications of laser plasma accelerated particle beams ranging from driving of light sources to radiation therapy require the scaling of beam energy and charge as well as reproducible operating conditions. Both issues have motivated the development of novel table-top class Petawatt laser systems (e.g., 30J pulse energy in 30fs) with unprecedented pulse control, here represented by the Draco-PW system recently commissioned at HZDR Dresden. First results will be presented on laser wakefield electron acceleration where in the beam loading regime high bunch charges in the nC range could be efficiently accelerated with good beam quality, and on proton acceleration where pulsed magnet beam transport ensured depth dose distributions allowing for tumor irradiation in animal models.
