In this talk, Dr Bailey will explain how ion beams can be used to fight crime and cancer. An ion beam is a beam of charged particles which are accelerated to speeds approaching the speed of light. Dr Bailey is currently working with the police to use ion beams in forensic science, for the analysis of trace evidence such as gunshot residue, soils and fingerprints. Ion beams are also being used by her team to make new advances in treating cancer patients.
