I don't know what you mean by "new atomic particles" so I'll give some answer options.
Yes, scientists can split apart nuclear isotopes with accelerators.
Yes, scientists can create nuclear isotopes, both previously observed and new with accelerators.
No, scientists can't split protons or neutrons with accelerators.
Yes, protons and neutrons within isotopes (neutrons don't even need to be in an isotope) can transform into each other via Beta plus and minus decay without the need of accelerators.
Yes, electrons over 1022MeV can spontaneously turn into photons and vice versa, with or without accelerators.
Yes scientists can create new particles with accelerators, but they aren't necessarily found in atoms.

What is a small particle that makes up most types of matter called?
The word you are probably looking for is 'atoms'. However there are many different types of particle: molecules and ions are on the same scale as atoms. Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons. Some of these are made up of quarks....
Are there pieces of matter smaller than atoms?
Depending on what type of nanoparticles the vary in image and size, a single nanometer (nm).For example, the particle size typically observed in colloidal silver has been measured in the range of 5 to 200 nanometers. Such measurements are performed using a Photon Correlation Spectrometer (PCS) that can measure down to 1 nm although there are other types of equipment, this is what has been traditionally used.A single particle one nanometer in diameter would consist of 31 silver atoms, and a 5 nm diameter particle would be about 3900 atoms while a 20 nm diameter particle would contain about 250,000 silver atoms, so a 300 nm particle could have 75 million to 250 million atoms.
Is a photon a positively charged particle in the atomic nucleus?
A subatomic particle are smaller particles composing nucleons and atoms. The two types of subatomic particle are elementary, they are not made of other particles and composite. A photon is an elementary type of subatomic particle.
What are the types of atoms in a pumice rock?
The types of atoms in a pumice rock are igneous
What are the types of particle transport how particles move into and out of the cell?
The types of particle transport mechanisms by which particles move into and out of the cell are diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
What is a meaning of a molecule?
particle that is made up of multiple types of atoms bonded together.
What are atoms and electrons?
An atom is something that is very small, and is a particle of all types of matter. An electron is a negatively charged particle that surrounds the nucleus of an atom
What is the Atom Smasher?
=A particle accelerator (or atom smasher[1]) is a device that uses electric fields to propel electrically-charged particles to high speeds and to contain them. An ordinary CRT television set is a simple form of accelerator. There are two basic types: linear accelerators and circular accelerators=

What are the 100 types of atoms?
There are not 100 types of atoms.
How many types of subatomic particles are there?
Over 200 types are known.However, there are 3 that form the basic structure of atoms: protons, electrons, and neutrons. There is also an anti-particle of the electron, the positron, that is seen in radioactive decay.

A subatomic particle are smaller particles composing nucleons and atoms. The two types of subatomic particle are elementary, they are not made of other particles and composite. A photon is an elementary type of subatomic particle.
Which is the only subatomic particle that is directly involved in the chemical reactions between atoms?
An electron, it plays a part in forming/breaking all proper chemical bonds (there are other types of bonds but they don't really cause chemical reactions and as such are rather boring)
How many different types of atoms does sugar have?
Sugar has three kinds of atoms
