Figure 1

Graphical representation of the dresden platform, a research hub for ultra-high dose rate radiobiology. At the top stands the available clinical (linacs, UPTD) and research accelerator (DRACO, ELBE) infrastructure (see section 2 for facility details). The accelerators are sorted by particle type and dose application time, which ranges from femtoseconds to minutes. For each accelerator, the maximum achievable mean dose rate is noted. Each facility is equipped for radiobiological experiments, providing the necessary technology and know-how from beam transport and dose delivery over beam monitoring and dosimetry to radiobiology infrastructure. The diversity in available dose application parameters is flanked by comprehensive biological models and reference beams to enable comparative radiobiological studies on UHDR effects such as FLASH across the dresden platform.
