粒子束武器是将经过高能加速器加速的电于,质于和中性原于（中性束流是由离于经过加速器加速后预以中性化而得）形成高能强流的粒子束,用接近光的速度射向目标（核弹头.弹体等）,以烧穿其壳体,起爆弹头的引爆系统或损坏其内部的电子器件。 设想中的粒子束武器用于陆基、空载和舰载防御性武器,主要作为战略防御性武器,有时可以作为进攻性武器,例如在空间作战站部署的加速器向地面发出粒子束流的辐射锥,它可以杀伤人员,不产生冲击波,其破坏效应相当于一个大当量的中于弹。 这种武器的前景如何?一九七七年至一九七九年间,在美国高级政府官员,著名的物理学家中展开了激烈的争论。赞成派认为,苏联已走在前面了,美国应紧紧跟上,反对派认 Particle beam weapon is to be accelerated by high-energy accelerator of electricity, quality and neutral in the original (neutral beam is accelerated by the accelerator after the pre-neutralization derived) to form high-energy and high-intensity particle beam with Near the speed of light toward the target (nuclear warhead, projectile, etc.) to burn through its shell, detonating the detonation system of the projectile or damage to its internal electronic devices. Particle beam weapons envisioned for use in land-based, space-borne and shipboard defensive weapons, primarily as strategic defensive weapons and sometimes as offensive weapons, such as those deployed at space operations stations, emit particle beam radiation to the ground Cone, it can kill people, does not produce shock waves, its destruction effect is equivalent to a large equivalent in the bomb. What is the future of such a weapon? Between 1972 and 1979, there was a heated debate among senior U.S. government officials and prominent physicists. The pro-faction believes that the Soviet Union has already taken the lead and that the United States should keep up closely and the opposition parties recognize it
