Purpose and Uses
EO-01 IDENTIFY uses for accelerators.
Accelerators have contributed many new and exciting insights into the structure of matter.
Accelerators are designed for a variety of purposes, such as research into the nature of matter,
production of radioisotopes (such as tritium), generation of bremsstrahlung for radiography and
radiation therapy, induction of fusion, pumping for lasers, detoxification of hazardous waste,
actinide transmutation, production of synchrotron radiation, sterilization of food and surgical
equipment, and industrial manufacturing. Each purpose dictates a particular energy range and
choice of particle to be accelerated - electrons, protons, or nuclei of heavier elements.
