linear accelerator

• Ein Gerät, das geladene subatomare Teilchen oder Ionen durch eine Reihe von elektrischen Wechselfeldern entlang einer geraden Linie auf hohe Energien beschleunigt; wird vor allem in der medizinischen Strahlentherapie zur Krebsbehandlung und in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung eingesetzt.

A device that accelerates charged subatomic particles or ions to high energies by passing them through a series of oscillating electric fields along a straight line, commonly used in medical radiation therapy for cancer treatment and in scientific research.
