  • Steel casting undergoing x-ray using the linear accelerator at [[Goodwin Steel Castings Ltd]]
  • Wideroe's linac concept. The voltage from an RF source is connected to a series of tubes which shield the particle between gaps.

linear accelerator         
¦ noun Physics an accelerator in which particles travel in straight lines, not in closed orbits.
linac         
['l?nak]
¦ noun short for linear accelerator.
Startup accelerator         
PROGRAMS ASSISTING NEW COMPANIES WITH FUNDING, MENTORING, TRAINING AND EVENTS IN EXCHANGE FOR EQUITY
Business accelerator; Technology accelerator; Seed accelerator
Startup accelerators, also known as seed accelerators, are fixed-term, cohort-based programs, that include mentorship and educational components and culminate in a public pitch event or demo day. While traditional business incubators are often government-funded, generally take no equity, and rarely provide funding, accelerators can be either privately or publicly funded and cover a wide range of industries.

Wikipedia

Linear particle accelerator

A linear particle accelerator (often shortened to linac) is a type of particle accelerator that accelerates charged subatomic particles or ions to a high speed by subjecting them to a series of oscillating electric potentials along a linear beamline. The principles for such machines were proposed by Gustav Ising in 1924, while the first machine that worked was constructed by Rolf Widerøe in 1928 at the RWTH Aachen University. Linacs have many applications: they generate X-rays and high energy electrons for medicinal purposes in radiation therapy, serve as particle injectors for higher-energy accelerators, and are used directly to achieve the highest kinetic energy for light particles (electrons and positrons) for particle physics.

The design of a linac depends on the type of particle that is being accelerated: electrons, protons or ions. Linacs range in size from a cathode ray tube (which is a type of linac) to the 3.2-kilometre-long (2.0 mi) linac at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, California.

Examples of use of linear accelerator
1. "We are just getting as much as we can, and we are going to the ends of the earth to get it." On the Net: Archimedes Palimpsest: http://www.archimedespalimpsest.org/ Stanford Linear Accelerator Center: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/
2. These black holes are 25 times more efficient than anything man has built, with nuclear power being the most efficient of man–made efforts, said study lead author Steve Allen of Stanford University and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
3. Over the past week, researchers at Stanford University‘s Linear Accelerator Center in Menlo Park have been using X–rays to decipher a fragile 10th century manuscript that contains the only copies of some of Archimedes‘ most important works.
4. The Basrah Children‘s Hospital will be a 160,000 square–foot facility containing '4 beds, including 86 pediatric acute care beds and eight oncology beds. The hospital will have a state–of–the–art neonatal intensive care unit, two operating rooms, two surgical procedure rooms, and an emergency room with a trauma station and 13 general outpatient exam rooms. Doctors and patients will have access to new technology that‘s not currently available in Basrah, including a linear accelerator for radiation therapy and modern CAT scan equipment. The hospital will also have four bedrooms for mothers to stay in as they stay there with their children, an auditorium, a classroom, a physician‘s library, a study room, resident offices, and a residence building for students.
