particle accelerator is a complex machine that takes elementary charged particles and accelerates them to very high energies. Accelerator physics is a field...

Van de Graaff generator was originally developed as a particle accelerator for physics research, as its high potential can be used to accelerate subatomic...

A synchrotron is a particular type of cyclic particle accelerator, descended from the cyclotron, in which the accelerating particle beam travels around...
