The main purpose of a particle accelerator is to generate synchrotron radiation or to smash atomic nuclei together or into a target to see what is produced from the energy of the impact. The results then inform which theoretical physical models are incorrect and occasionally which models have a valid experimental basis.

What does a particle accelerator do to atoms?
Nothing unless the atoms form a target. A PARTICLE accelerator accelerates PARTICLES not atoms.
What is the name for a particle accelerator?
Cyclotron
Why are magnets important to the particle accelerator?
they bend and/or focus the beam.
What is the name of the European Particle Accelerator?
the Large Hadron Collider
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.
The main purpose of a particle accelerator is to?
accelerate charged particles to high energy

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

What branch of physics uses particle accelerator?
Particle Physics
What is the name for a particle accelerator?
Cyclotron
Is a particle accelerator used to provide charged particles with sufficient kinetic energy to penetrate a nucleus?
yes it is a particle accelerator ;D
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.
Is it possible to get more speed then light to the particle with accelerator?
No. The more energy the accelerator can give the particle, the closer the particle can approach to the speed of light, but it can never reach exactly that speed.
What are the release dates for The Compact Particle Accelerator - 2012?
The Compact Particle Accelerator - 2012 was released on: USA: 8 March 2012 (internet)
What is the nickname for a particle accelerator?
Atom Smasher
