accelerator technology

Accelerator technology involves devices that speed up charged particles, like electrons or protons, to very high energies. These particles are guided and accelerated using electric fields and magnetic fields within structures called accelerators. The energized particles can then be used for various purposes, such as scientific research to study fundamental particles, medical treatments like cancer radiation therapy, or producing specialized equipment. Essentially, accelerators are precision instruments that control particle motion at high speeds, enabling advancements across science, medicine, and industry.
