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.


How are particle accelerators used to synthesize elements?

What essentially happens is two nuclei of two different (or the same) elements are smashed together; sometimes (although rarely) parts of the nuclei will stick together instead of getting obliterated or shot out. It is through this process that particle accelerators are used to create elements; however, it is worth noting that these elements are unstable due to the nucleus's atomic radius being to large; it will be greater than the range of the residual strong force.


What does the world's largest particle accelerator hope to accomplish?

The world's largest particle accelerator is used to accelerate particles to extremely high energies at which they can undergo collisions which, it is hoped, will produce previously unseen kinds of results which will shed light on currently mysterious or unanswered questions about particle physics, thereby increasing human knowledge and our understanding of the way the universe works on a very deep, fundamental level.


How large is the Large Hadron Collider?

The LHC is a total of 27 kilometres (17 miles) long, running along the French - Swiss border. It is 3.8 metres wide.

To make most synthetic elements scientist use machines called?

Particle accelerators are often used to create most synthetic elements. These machines accelerate particles to high speeds and then collide them to form new elements through nuclear reactions.


Does a particle accelerator used to accelerate particles at high speeds until the particles fuse together and create a new element?

A particle accelerator used to accelerate particles at high speeds will not fuse together and create a new element. The particle accelerator uses electromagnetic fields to move charged particles and contain them in well defined beams.


What is the nickname for a particle accelerator?

The nickname for a particle accelerator is often "atom smasher" because it is used to accelerate and collide particles at high energies to study their fundamental properties.


What is the name of machine used for making subatomic particles move faster?

Particle accelerator


Is a particle accelerator used to provide charged particles with sufficient kinetic energy to penetrate a nucleus?

Yes, a particle accelerator is used to accelerate charged particles to high speeds, giving them sufficient kinetic energy to penetrate a nucleus. When the particles collide with the nucleus, they can break it apart or induce nuclear reactions.


What is bhorium used for?

Nothing. It is a synthetic element (man-made in a particle accelerator) that doesn't exist for very long (just a few minutes) before it undergoes nuclear decay into lighter elements.


What machine is used to make subatomic particles move faster?

A particle accelerator, such as a synchrotron or cyclotron, is used to make subatomic particles move faster by applying strong magnetic and electric fields to propel the particles to higher speeds.


What is the dynamitron accelerator?

The Dynamitron accelerator is a type of particle accelerator that uses a resonant transformer to produce high-energy particles. It is commonly used for industrial applications such as radiation processing and materials testing.

What is technical name for the Atom smasher?

The technical name for an atom smasher is a particle accelerator. It is a device used to accelerate charged particles to high speeds and collide them to study fundamental particles and forces in physics.


What is used to produce new synthetic elements by bombarding atomic nuclei with high speed protons or neutrons?

Particle accelerators are typically used to produce new synthetic elements by bombarding atomic nuclei with high speed protons or neutrons. These high-energy collisions can cause the nuclei to combine and form heavier elements.
