Particle accelerators provide unique sources of light and particles that support the research of thousands of scientists worldwide, play a direct role in the production of more than $500 billion of goods annually, and treat more than 5 million cancer patients each year. Read more>>>
The DOE Office of Science Accelerator Stewardship and Accelerator Development programs support use-inspired basic research and development (R&D) on accelerator technology that advances science, healthcare, the economy, and our security and supports public-private partnerships to strengthen domestic suppliers of accelerator technology.
The 12 research projects involve scientists at 32 U.S. institutions including 12 universities, 7 national laboratories, and 14 companies that are working together to solve some of the most challenging problems in medical, industrial, environmental, and security applications of accelerator technology.
