Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of laser–matter interaction is attracting increasing interest in fields of application ranging from plasma physics to the production of secondary radiation. In particular, laser-driven secondary radiation, such as X-rays, neutrons, electrons, and ions, has applications that range from radiation physics to innovative and more efficient cancer treatment techniques. Hence, lasers could complement particle accelerators. Several facilities have been developed, or are under development, that aim to provide users with innovative acceleration technologies for multidisciplinary research.
This Special Issue aims to present the state of the art in laser-driven irradiation facilities and future developments in this field, with emphasis on the foreseen applications and possibilities for users.
We welcome contributions that focus on presenting established or underdevelopment laser facilities.
Dr. Francesco Schillaci

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Quantum Beam Science is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
