Others explained how it’s good for science.

There are a ton of other uses for accelerators as well. A lot of medical procedures involve scanning by sending high energy radiation through the body and into a film on the other side. These radiations are either directly from small table top accelerators or using radioactive materials that were created by powerful particle accelerators.
