They accelerate particles using magnets. Once going at speed close to the speed of light, particles smash into each other. Accelerators are used to examine the properties of subatomic particles. There is an accelerator in Chicago called Fermilab, and another, larger on in Europe. See the large hadron collider for more info on current accelerators.

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.
What is the function of drift tubes in particle accelerators?
Drift tubes in particle accelerators help to guide and focus charged particles as they travel through the accelerator. They create an electric field that helps to keep the particles on track and at the desired energy level.
What is the scientific principle behind particle accelators?
particle accelerators work by accelerating a charged particle in a magnetic field where the lines of magnetic flux are such that the particle is accelerated into a circular path. This is so that the force produced by such a motion and magnetic field is perpendicular to both the lines of magnetic flux and the velocity of the particle. The stronger the magnetic field and the faster the particle is moving, the more of a force is required (i.e stronger magnetic field) to keep the particle accelerating. Only a charged particle is affected by a magnetic field so only charged particles can be used inside a particle accelerators (i.e protons and electrons.) neutrons have a charge of zero and are not affected by magnetic fields.
How do accelerators work to increase the speed of particles?
Accelerators increase the speed of particles by using electric fields to give them energy and magnetic fields to steer them in a circular path. By repeating this process in a series of stages, particles can reach very high speeds before colliding with a target or another particle.
What device do scientists use to study quarks?
Scientists use particle accelerators to study quarks. By colliding particles at high speeds, these accelerators provide valuable information about the properties and behavior of quarks.
What are particle accelerators also called?
Particle accelerators are also known as atom smashers
How large are particle accelerators?

Are particle accelerators the same as super colliders?
Sort of. Particle accelerators are anything that take particles (usually electrons or protons) and accelerate them to high speeds. Super colliders are really powerful particle accelerators along with a bunch of equipment to measure what happens when the particles collide. So when someone talks about a particle accelerator, they're usually talking about colliders. But there are lots of things that are particle accelerators that aren't colliders. The old CRT computer monitors (heavy ones that are about as deep as they are wide) accelerate electrons and shoot them into the glass plate in front to make light, so there's a particle accelerator inside.
Where is lawrencium from?
