Dear Friends of CBB,


Particle accelerators are a growth area. Today’s electron beams probe material properties,
produce x-rays and medical isotopes, probe elementary particles, and may be the
future for waste treatment or semiconductor manufacturing. To deliver on this promise, the US needs
more experts in accelerator science and technology.


At CBB, we are building the pipeline by engaging undergraduates in research and training more PhDs than any other U.S.
program.


The field needs your help, too. Do you know a student considering their future? Tell them about accelerator science.
