Notes
J.
Purpose and Uses
Accelerators were originally designed to study (research) the structure
of matter. Accelerators today are used not only for basic research
purposes, but for many other applications such as:
Production of radioisotopes, such as tritium.
N
Generation of bremsstrahlung for radiography and radiation therapy.
N
Induction of fusion.
N
Pumping for lasers.
N
Detoxification of hazardous waste.
N
Actinide transmutation.
N
Production of synchrotron radiation.
N
Sterilization of food and surgical equipment.
N
Medical radiation therapy.
