Applications
Real-world uses for heavy ion beams across industries and research.
Heavy ion beams are used for materials processing, medical therapy, space simulation, and fundamental research. This section outlines major application areas and their requirements.
Materials and implantation
Heavy ions are used to modify surfaces, implant dopants, and create controlled damage profiles in semiconductors and metals.
Medical therapy
Heavy-ion radiation therapy delivers high-precision dose distributions for treating tumors with minimal impact on surrounding tissue.
