Abstract

This paper is described the review of several selected accelerators and the use of accelerators in various purposes. The electrostatic accelerators and RF accelerators have been developed before the second world war for the purpose of basic research of physics mainly. RF driven accelerators have been achieved higher energy and applied in medical and industrial use after 1980's. Accelerators have improved incorporating new technologies : axial and horizontal injection, stripping extraction, superconducting RF, computer control, superconducting magnet etc.. Also recent key technologies as BT and NT make the expansion of applications of the accelerators.
