“…At one time accelerator-based neutron sources found broad application in applied chemistry laboratories as a highly accurate tool for general-purpose chemical assay measurements. [188][189][190][191][192][193] With the progressive introduction of simpler, and often more accurate, laboratory analytical instruments the use of neutron generators for these applications has diminished but continues in select applications. [194] Electronic neutron generators continue to be used as the primary tool for laboratory analyses in some areas where other competing technical approaches do not provide the same capabilities.…”

Advances in neutron science have gone hand in hand with the development and of particle accelerators from the beginning of both fields of study. Early accelerator systems were developed simply to produce neutrons, allowing scientists to study their properties and how neutrons interact in matter, but people quickly realized that more tangible uses existed too. Today the diversity of applications for industrial accelerator-based neutron sources is high and so to is the actual number of instruments in daily use is high, and they serve important roles in the fields where they're used. This chapter presents a technical introduction to the different ways particle accelerators are used to produce neutrons, an historical overview of the early development of neutron-producing particle accelerators, a description of some current industrial accelerator systems, narratives of the fields where neutron-producing particle accelerators are used today, and comments on future trends in the industrial uses of neutron producing particle accelerators.
