What are accelerators and what they are used for?

Here are 5 categories of particles accelerators to consider:

  • Accelerators from discovery to industry

  • Applications of accelerators to environmental and societal challenges

  • Particle beams for medical applications

  • Future accelerator technologies drive fundamental physics breakthroughs

  • Accelerators as collaborative tools and enablers of peace
