If you specialise in particle accelerators, you’ll know there is more to their capabilities than you see in the news. The Large Hadron Collider has made headlines for enabling ground-breaking scientific discoveries. But there are many more particle accelerators – approximately 35,000 around the world – that are contributing to our scientific knowledge, as well as working behind the scenes in our everyday lives. 


To bring you up to date on accelerator science and its applications, we’ve pulled together a series of videos below.
