 Planetary physics
the Institute of Planetary Research carries out and supports research programs on the internal structure, formation and evolution of the planets, their moons, and asteroids and comets. Techniques employed include remote sensing and in-situ investigations using instruments carried on spacecraft, astronomical observations from the ground, theoretical modeling, and laboratory experiments.

astroparticle physics
Presently the fields of astrophysics, cosmology, astroparticle and cosmic physics are going through
a golden age characterized by fruitful interactions between laboratory experiments, direct
observations of the Universe and simulations, which encourage continual and deep revisions of
theories.

accelerator science
Here are a few areas where accelerator science has helped:
Production of specific radio-isotopes. These can be used in medicine for PET (Positron emission tomography) scans.
Crystallography. Accelerators can be used to determine the spatial and chemical structure of molecules and even watch in real time changes to them.
Non-destructive imaging. This is useful when something fragile is being studied, eg. artworks and archaeology.
As a source of targeted radiation. For instance in hadron therapy as a method of treating cancer. Hadron therapy is far less destructive to surrounding tissue than radio therapy.
