Accelerator Technologies

Fermilab is the U.S. accelerator laboratory, dedicated to developing particle accelerators for physics research. This technology also has many applications outside of physics, including medical applications like PET scans and commercial applications like curing rubber tires or shrinkwrapping products. Through the Illinois Accelerator Research Center (IARC), Fermilab partners with industry and universities to help create accelerator-based products, applications, companies and jobs.
