Recent development in table-top high-power lasers of the 100 Terawatt class combined with an improved understanding of relativistic laser matter interaction now allows for the discussion of applications of laser accelerated particle beams and secondary radiation sources. In this presentation, an introduction covering the underlying mechanisms will be given followed by a presentation of the novel combined laser-accelerator facility at FZD and its goals as, e.g., laser driven proton oncology.
