Purpose: This study aimed to demonstrate for the first time the possibility of irradiating biological cells with gray (Gy)-scale doses delivered over single bursts of picosecond-scale electron beams, resulting in unprecedented dose rates of 10 to 10 Gy/s.
Methods And Materials: Cancer stem cells and human skin fibroblasts were irradiated with MeV-scale electron beams from a laser-driven source. Doses up to 3 Gy per pulse with a high spatial uniformity (coefficient of variance, 3%-6%) and within a timescale range of 10 to 20 picoseconds were delivered.
