What branch of physics uses particle accelerator?
Particle Physics
Where can someone find CERN particle accelerator?
CERN is the largest particle physics research laboratory in the world. People can arrange a visit to CERN. The particle accelerator is included in the itinerary.
What has the author Helmut Wiedemann written?
Helmut Wiedemann has written: 'Particle accelerator physics II' -- subject(s): Beam dynamics, Particle accelerators, Design and construction 'Particle accelerator physics' -- subject(s): Beam dynamics, Linear accelerators
What is a good university to study particle physics?
UC Santa Cruz is good. Half the physics professors here are particle physicists that work with the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC). The school is rated highly in physics and world-class in astrophysics.
Does a particle need to have an electrical charge to be used in a particle accelerator?
Yes, a particle used in a particle accelerator must have a charge to be useful in the device. Particle accelerators we use in high energy physics to investigate things all work by applying a moving or shifting magnetic field to accelerate charged particles. We speed these particles up by repeatedly "hitting" them with a magnetic field. Uncharged particles will not respond to this, and canot be used in the devices.
What is a cyclotron operator?
A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator used in nuclear physics and nuclear medicine. A cyclotron operator is a specialist in the operation and maintenance of such a device. Operators are required to understand the physics of cyclotrons as well as beam physics.
What does a particle accelerator do to atoms?
Nothing unless the atoms form a target. A PARTICLE accelerator accelerates PARTICLES not atoms.
What particle can not be accerlated by the electric or magnetic field in a particle accelerator?
The ones that have more mass than the accelerator can move.
What was the first synthetic element to be made by a particle accelerator?
The first synthetic element to be made by a particle accelerator was technetium
To make most synthetic elements scientist use machines called?
particle accelerator
Which tool would a scientist use to find information on the structure of an atom?
particle accelerator
What is the name for a particle accelerator?
Cyclotron
