  On the cover:
  Although the superstars of the particle accelerator world are giant research machines such as Fermilab's Tevatron and CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, there are also tens of thousands of accelerators at work in medicine and industry. In this Illinois plant, for example, a beam of accelerated electrons makes polymer coatings for wire and cable more heat resistant. The $3.5 billion market for medical and industrial accelerators is growing at more than 10 percent per year. (See "Accelerators for America's Future,".)
