Ordinary consumer equipment already accelerates electrons enough to produce X-rays. Or at least, it did, back in the CRT era. This accelerator is presumably more powerful than consumer entertainment hardware.
I'm figuring the photonic stuff covers all electromagnetic. So sunburn, microwave, cancer. Lots of options.
