A primary challenge in laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) is the generation of stable, reproducible plasma targets with customizable density profiles. We describe an inte-grated framework that combines a custom high-voltage pulse-forming network with real-time spectroscopic diagnostics to characterize plasma formation. Beyond the technical implementation, this study explores the suitability of these plasma sources for producing very high energy electron (VHEE) beams. By utilizing numerical modeling and dosimetric evaluations, we demonstrate that the ultra-short, high-energy bunches generated by this system are uniquely suited for emerging medical modalities such as VHEE therapy (VHEET) and FLASH radiotherapy(FLASH-RT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to announce our latest paper &#8211; \u201cCurrent status of gas-filled plasma discharge capillary development for the I-LUCE facility at INFN-LNS\u201d &#8211; now published in il nuovo cimento journal: S.
