Particle accelerators are devices that produce different kinds of energetic, high-intensity beams of stable particles (𝑒, 𝑝, …). They possess many fields of application: nuclear and particle physics, material science, chemistry, biology, medicine, isotope production, medical imaging, medical treatments – just to name a few. Beams of accelerated primary particles can be used to produce beams of secondary metastable particles, such as 𝜇’s, 𝜋’s, 𝐾’s, etc
