The first proton accelerator I worked on spent a lot of time doing this.

A large part of our day was spent on elemental research. The nights were also filled with government guys with black boxes and lots of armed security using our proton accelerator to shoot beams into their black boxes. Then they would go away. Until they had another black box to shoot.

Also, neutron generators are used in heavy element creation.
