Jörg Schreiber

Prof. Jörg Schreiber is a Research Group Leader at the Centre for Advanced Laser Applications (CALA) of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU). His research focuses on developing laser-driven ion acceleration (LION) technologies for applications in radiobiology, medical physics, and fundamental science. He leads efforts to create Integrated Laser-Driven Ion Accelerator Systems (ILDIAS) that leverage unique proton bunch characteristics for novel imaging techniques and biomedical studies.

Research interests span:

• Laser-plasma interactions and proton acceleration mechanisms
• FLASH radiotherapy using ultra-high dose rates
• Quantum electrodynamics experiments with multipetawatt lasers
• Advanced beam diagnostics and target development
• Medical applications of laser-driven particle beams

Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on laser-driven FLASH radiobiology (7 papers), quantum vacuum phenomena (3 papers), beam optimization (4 papers), and novel diagnostic methods (3 papers), with increasing attention to clinical translation of laser-accelerated particles.

Laboratory leadership includes development of the LION beamline and coordination of the CALA facility's 2.5 Petawatt laser system. Current work emphasizes:

• Designing irradiation platforms for preclinical studies
• Developing acoustic monitoring for proton therapy
• Creating microstructured targets for enhanced acceleration
• Investigating laser-nuclear physics applications
