Their reasoning seems to accommodate the timetable of the Christmas story, for in December the two planets came together for a third time, as if on cue, to show the final way to Bethlehem...
...high-energy neutrons produced by its linear accelerator. Directed against certain tumors, the neutrons can be more effective than the X rays normally used in cancer therapy. Their advantage lies in the combination of their mass (they are heavy by subatomic standards) and high energy, which makes them ideal "cue balls" in a kind of atomic billiard game: penetrating deep into large tumors, they knock protons and other particles out of the atoms of the cancerous cells. That creates general biochemical havoc, breaking DNA strands and hampering cell reproduction-thus killing the malignancy...
