∙ 13y agoThere are over 30 particle accelerators and cyclotrons in the US, including the well-known facilities at national laboratories like Fermilab and Brookhaven National Laboratory. These accelerators are used for a variety of scientific research purposes, including particle physics, nuclear physics, and materials science.

∙ 11y agoThere are about 150 to 200 cylotrons in the world. About 35 of these are operated by radiopharmaceutical companies and are used solely for the production of medical radioisotopes. Another 25 are used in part for radioisotope production. However, most of the above cyclotrons are not of sufficient power to produce large quantities of Iodine 123, which is the focus of Quasar Group's main initiative and to solve a severe shortage in the United States and to a lesser extent in Europe. The type of cyclotron that is needed for this project are 30 MeV (million electron volts) that can produce large quantities of Iodine 123 utilizing Xe 124 gas target systems. This method produces an extremely high purity product and is the most easily managed compared to lower energy production methods utilizing Te 123 solid targets.

∙ 12y agoI can't give you an exact answer, but let's say several. Probably the most famous one in the US is Fermilab outside of Chicago.

Three particle accelerators in the US are the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland (shared by many countries including the US), Fermilab's Tevatron in Illinois, and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in California.
Ernest Rutherford's contributions to physics, especially his model of the atom and discovery of the nucleus, laid the groundwork for our understanding of atomic structure. Today, his work is fundamental in fields such as nuclear physics, particle accelerators, and nuclear medicine. Many modern technologies, such as MRI machines and nuclear power plants, rely on principles stemming from Rutherford's discoveries.
There are hundreds of cyclotrons in operation worldwide, used for various applications such as medical diagnostics, research, and industrial purposes. The exact number is difficult to pinpoint due to the varying sizes and purposes of cyclotrons in different countries.

The amplitude of particle vibration measures the maximum displacement of a particle from its equilibrium position. The frequency of vibration indicates how many times a particle oscillates back and forth in a given time period. The energy of vibration determines the intensity or strength of the particle motion.
Thousands ! Particle accelerators are now produced on an industrial scale, and used in hospitals for anti-cancer radiation treatment. Here are two, to get you started: 1). Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory; Batavia, IL, USA 2). Large Hadron Collider; Geneva, Switzerland
There are 119 currently known elements. 98 of them occur naturally, with the remainder created in particle accelerators or during nuclear reactions.
Electromagnetism is used in electric motors, computer hard drives (and other magnetic storage media), junkyard electromagnets, televisions, particle accelerators, MRIs, and many other devices.
There are 92 elements that exist in nature*. Every heavier element has decayed before our time. Of course, there are more elements in the periodic table, but they are all synthetic elements-they were made in a laboratory. Theoretically, there is no limit on how heavy an element could become-you can always add a proton to the nucleus. However these synthetic elements exist only for a fraction of a second and only in particle accelerators. There are currently 115 known elements.
There is only one, which is part of the Mexican Energy Secretariat. It is located on the outskirts of Mexico City. It has several laboratories, including a research nuclear reactor and four particle accelerators.

we would have to rewrite the standard model of particle physics. we've done it before. many times.
Yes. However they are made in labs using particle accelerators. some which haven't yet been proven on more than one occasion to exist have Latin names such as element 110 Ununnillium. It is hard to prove their existence as even the most stable isotope many only last a couple of seconds before it disintegrates. However many elements are synthetic and created by humans.
The Higgs boson, also known as the "God particle," is a subatomic particle that gives mass to other particles. It was theorized to exist in the 1960s and was discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland.
You will have to tell us what the particle is, but if it is an alpha particle, there are two neutrons in it.
Of course. Einstein established that it is theoretically possible. But it is more than theoretically possible. It has been confirmed in particle accelerators many times. Particles that have a known life are observed to have extended lives when accelerated to relativistic velocities, and the extended lives are equal to what would be predicted from Einstein's formulas.
