A CAS course on advancing cancer therapy with particle accelerators
Particle accelerators have long been synonymous with fundamental physics discoveries, Nobel prizes, new technologies and research at laboratories like CERN. By Noemi Caraban Gonzalez What is not widely known is that, of the almost 47’000 particle accelerators in operation around the world, only 6% are destined for research (0.5% for particle physics). The remaining 94%…
