The higher particle energies achieved in accelerators have provided a major stimulus for research into the constituents and nature of matter. Since the 1930s new sciences, from atomic to nuclear to particle physics, have emerged concurrent with newly developed beam probes which allow research to proceed to smaller and smaller sizes, deeper into matter. Fueled by technological innovation and motivated by scientific curiosity, the increase in energy of particle accelerators has been about an order of magnitude every seven years. Present strong focusing synchrotrons can achieve TeV (lo'* eV) energies-six orders of magnitude higher than the MeV (lo6 eV> energies achieved by the cyclotrons of 50 years ago.

More than 50 years ago the discovery and understanding of radiation led to the idea of a beam of elementary particles. Since then the development of processes for the collection, focusing, and acceleration of such beams has given rise to a growing number of facilities designed to produce a variety of particle beams for a multitude of purposes.
