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
