Accelerator

An accelerator is a device that uses electromagnetic fields to speed up charged particles, such as electrons or protons, to very high energies. These high-energy particles can then be used for various purposes, including scientific research to understand fundamental forces and particles, medical treatments like cancer radiotherapy, and industrial applications. Accelerators can be large facilities, like particle colliders, or smaller devices for specialized uses. Essentially, they provide the energy needed to explore the building blocks of matter or to produce specific particles or radiation for practical applications.
