DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Bob Bingham (STFC)\n\nThe scientific motivation for 
 the LhARA initiative will be presented together with the programme of tech
 nological innovation by which the collaboration seeks to:Transform the del
 ivery of proton and ion-beam therapy by harnessing the unique properties o
 f laser-driven proton and ion beams\;Exploit the unique temporal\, spatial
 \, and spectral properties of laser-driven beams to explore uncharted terr
 itory in the vast terra incognita of the response of tissues to ionising
  radiation\; and thereby lay the foundations for‘Best in class’ trea
 tments to be made available to the many by developing a fully-automated sy
 stem that removes the requirement for a large gantry\, thereby reducing fo
 otprint and increasing capacity and throughput.Successful delivery of the 
 initiative will deliver transformative capabilities for the exploration of
  fundamental science as well as societal and industrial impact. ZOOM: htt
