✦ Synopsis

Accelerator facilities represent a balance of technology, the desires of the high-energy physics community, and government/public support. New, higher energy linear and circular colliders will emerge in the twenty-first century, and experiments will be conducted using both fixed target and colliding-beam configurations. New accelerator applications will rely on superconducting technology that has grown dramatically in importance during the last two decades of the twentieth century and will become j133 Health Physics in the 21st Century.
