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 does a particle accelerator do to atoms?

Nothing unless the atoms form a target. A PARTICLE accelerator accelerates PARTICLES not atoms.

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.


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.
