In ion beam therapy, atomic nuclei are accelerated to high energies in a particle accelerator, for example, a synchrotron, and precisely directed at a tumor. There, they damage cancer cells and destroy tumor tissue. This technique is now used at several specialized medical facilities around the world, including MedAustron in Wiener Neustadt, Austria.
