Accelerators for Society
by Celine Tanguy (CEA)

Did you know that among the more than 26,000 particle accelerators currently in use worldwide, only 1% is used for research? Particle accelerators are vital instruments for both fundamental and applied research but they are also involved in a broad range of applications. A new brochure initiated within the TIARA preparatory phase invites readers to discover how accelerators benefit society.

Visit the recently launched www.accelerators-for-society.org website to learn more on applications of particle accelerators.

First developed almost a century ago for fundamental physics research, particle accelerators now have a very large number of applications, from the well-known applications such as cancer treatment and the production of semiconductors for the electronics industry, to the lesser-known applications such as improving the taste of chocolate and the treatment of water supplies.

The website www.accelerators-for-society.org has been developed as part of the TIARA preparatory phase and outlines many applications of particle accelerators in areas such as Research and Development, Health, Medicine, Industry, Energy, Environment and beyond, showing just how much society benefits from particle accelerators.
