  1. The thing is this is literally what they ended up doing with CERN's predecessor--Fermilab pioneered "neutron therapy," a non-surgical, non-chemo cancer treatment where they LITERALLY shoot a beam of high-energy neutrons at you. Because neutrons deposit the bulk of their energy only after a certain penetration depth, they can target extremely-hard-to-reach tumors in 3D and minimize damage done to surrounding healthy tissue.
