I've considered using them in pre-amplifiers for particle
beam position pick-ups in accelerators, because they're rad-
hard. I never actually did it though. It would have been
necessary to shield them from magnetic fields, which is a
pain, and the limited lifetime would have been a nuisance,
anyway.

In the end, I decided to use semiconductor circuitry, kept
at some distance from the beam pipe.
