  1. Snowmass 2001 Accelerator Technology Benefits to Other Sciences & to Society Alan Jackson, LBNL

  2. Accelerator Components Beams Ring Linac Injector

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

  4. 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, …

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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)

  8. 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 • … For more info … Denton TX, “Applications of Accelerators” series
