A linac, which is a foreshortening of linear accelerator, is sometimes used to refer to that device.

What do particle accelerators measure?

Particle accelerators measure properties of particles such as mass, charge, energy, and momentum. They can also be used to study fundamental forces, particle interactions, and the structure of matter at a subatomic level.


Synthetic elements are produced in nuclear reactors and also by using what?

Particle Accelerators.


Is hydrogen-3 natural?

Hydrogen-3, also known as tritium, is a rare and radioactive isotope of hydrogen that is not commonly found in nature. It is primarily produced artificially in nuclear reactors and particle accelerators.


What does a B particle correspond to?

A B particle, or B meson, corresponds to a type of subatomic particle that is composed of a bottom quark (also known as a beauty quark) and an accompanying antiquark. B mesons are significant in particle physics as they play a crucial role in the study of CP violation and the behavior of the weak force. They are produced in high-energy collisions, such as those in particle accelerators, and their decay processes help scientists understand the fundamental interactions in the universe.


Who might use a particle accelerator?

Particle physicists doing research in quantum mechanics use particle accelerators, which are also called "atom smashers" or "colliders". These devices propel subatomic particles at high velocities and collide them with other subatomic particles, sometimes creating new elements, and recreating the properties of the early Universe, shortly after the Big Bang.


What is the smallest objects that scientists study?

Physicists are currently trying to find proof of the Higgs-Boson particle, also known as the God Particle. This particle is the fundamental unit of everything that contains mass in the universe.

Does a particle moving along a line that passes through the origin has zero angular momentum about that origin?

No, the particle's angular momentum depends on both its linear momentum and its distance from the origin. If the particle is moving along a line passing through the origin, its angular momentum will not necessarily be zero unless its linear momentum is also zero.


What is the linear strains?

its also known as longitudinal strain


What is the name of the machine that speeds up particle of matter?

You are probably referring to the cyclotron which is used to study the nucleus of matter by accelerating (speeding up) neutrons to a speed where they can be hurled at the nucleus of an atom in order to "smash" it. This is also the basics of nuclear fission which happens naturally in radioactive materials.You might be right, but I'd also like to include this quote from Wikipedia:A particle accelerator (or atom smasher, in the early 20th century[1]) is a device that uses electric fields to propel ions or charged subatomic particles to high speeds and to contain them in well-defined beams. An ordinary CRT television set is a simple form of accelerator. There are two basic types: linear accelerators and circular accelerators. I think this might be the answer too..
