Operation Terminology RF 
RF stands for Radio Frequency, which is the electromagnetic energy used to accelerate particles.
In general, accelerator studies fall into two categories: first and primarily, they're used to increase machine 
efficiency in creating, transporting, and accelerating particles so that 
experimenters can better understand and make discoveries about the properties 
of matter; second, they help physicists understand particle accelerators.
