PARTICLE ACCELERATORS REQUIRE LARGE NUMBERS OF COMPONENTS THAT MUST BE BOTH POWERFUL AND INEXPENSIVE.
Collaboration between industry and research institutes offers several advantages. Today, certain technologies developed for particle physics are used in ports and airports to quickly check goods and ensure their smooth and safe transport around the world.
