Részecskegyorsítók
Részecskegyorsítók, or particle accelerators in English, are scientific instruments that use electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles to extremely high speeds and energies. These particles, such as electrons, protons, or ions, are accelerated in a vacuum to prevent them from colliding with air molecules. The fundamental principle behind their operation involves applying electric fields to increase the kinetic energy of the particles and magnetic fields to steer and focus them into a beam.
There are two primary types of particle accelerators: linear accelerators (linacs) and circular accelerators (synchrotrons and
Particle accelerators are indispensable tools in fundamental physics research, enabling scientists to probe the structure of
