Injectors
• Proton/H-
• All ion species …• Including radioactive beams• Electron/positron

Injectors – other uses
• Protons – nanowriters, nanolithography
• Deuterons >>> neutrons– boron/neutron capture therapy (BNCT)
– neutron tubes
• Heavier ions– fusion
– ion implanters (chip industry, surface modification, vias, …)
• Electrons – LEED, PEEM, …

Linacs – other uses
• Electron linacs– x-rays for radiation therapy
– radiography
– food sterilization
– FELs
• Proton linacs– spallation neutron sources
– transmutation of nuclear waste
– radiation therapy
• Heavy ion linacs– radiation therapy
– fusion

Rings – other uses
• Electron rings– synchrotron radiation
• Proton rings– radiation therapy (Japan, Loma Linda, MGH)
– production of radio-pharmaceuticals
– pulse compressors for spallation neutron source
• Superconducting magnets– new materials
– MRI

Beams – other uses
• EM radiation – IR through VUV to x-rays– vibration of biological molecules – surface physics/catalysis – AMO physics – chemical sciences – e.g. combustion – environmental remediation – lithography – optical elements, wafer characterization– protein crystallography – LIGA
• Neutron beams– much as above, but probes at the nuclear level– sensitive to magnetic moment (memory industry)

Summary
• Many sciences have benefited directly from technologies developed in HEP accelerator R&D – biology, chemistry, surface science, AMO, condensed matter,
protein crystallography
– …
• Likewise, society has reaped many benefits directly from technologies developed in accelerator R&D – MRI diagnosis, use of radio-pharmaceuticals (including e.g. PET),
cancer therapies, next-generation computers, modified engineering materials, improving industrial processes
