Particle physicists doing research in quantum mechanics use particle accelerators, which are also called "atom smashers" or "colliders".

These devices propel subatomic particles at high velocities and collide them with other subatomic particles, sometimes creating new elements, and recreating the properties of the early Universe, shortly after the Big Bang.

How do particle accelerators help in performing artificial transmutations?

Sometimes artificial transmutations will not occur unless bombarding particles are moving at extremely high speeds, and since a particle accelerator can accelerate a particles speed very close to the speed of light, then you would have to use a particle accelerator to make the transmutation happen.
