New science division: Particle physics

Another thought I had would be that you could use grills placed over the ends of conveyor belts to build charge like a Van de Graaff generator. Electrostatic accelerators powered by van de graaff generators can be used for ion implantation in silicon- the process used to make semiconductors, if that gives you any ideas.

Evacuating or filling the beamlines with gas must require a working pump, right?

What about a button to purge the accelerator and direct the energy off into space?

Stick a chunk of metal in the magnetic trap, then modify it with an alpha or neutron radiation beam into a radioisotope. Get that into someone's body, and it'll slowly release the radiation into their system so they have a tiny amount for a long time, and it can be tracked in some way perhaps? That's something they do in real life.

I like the idea of injecting someone with a radioisotope, and maybe you could even make the metal into a bullet itself, or at least coat a bullet in it.
