Fuel was ionized and then fired from small accelerators through holes in the outer (physical) electrodes.

The clusters were speeded up by a small electrostatic accelerator, which fired them at a solid target containing deuterium atoms at room temperature.

Like some methods for treating cancer, using a small accelerator.

They initially created the company to commercialize the klystron and develop other technologies, such as small linear accelerators to generate photons for external-beam radiation therapy.

The smaller accelerators are needed to increase the speed of particles before they enter the supercollider.

American inventors are now trying to create small, innovative accelerators in lieu of the big machine.

Other types of small accelerators are used in oil fields to perform fast nuclear analysis of oil shale in bore holes.

More recently powerful small accelerators have been used to produce computer chips, which experts say shows that their design is improving rapidly.

"It may be possible to use the main transport system, the small linear accelerator at the top of the rim wall."
