-
betatron, induction accelerator
accelerates a continuous beam of electrons to high speeds by means of the electric field produced by changing magnetic flux
-
charge-exchange accelerator
an accelerator in which high-energy ions escape from plasma following charge exchange
-
Cockcroft and Walton accelerator, Cockcroft and Walton voltage multiplier, Cockcroft-Walton accelerator, Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier
a high-voltage machine in which rectifiers charge capacitors that discharge and drive charged particles through an accelerating tube
-
collider
an accelerator in which two beams of particles are forced to collide head on
-
cyclotron
an accelerator that imparts energies of several million electron-volts to rapidly moving particles
-
linac, linear accelerator
ions are accelerated along a linear path by voltage differences on electrodes along the path
-
bevatron
a cyclotron that accelerates protons up to several billion electron volts
-
electron accelerator
collider that consists of an accelerator that collides electrons and positrons
-
microwave linear accelerator
linear accelerator that uses microwaves
-
proton accelerator
a collider that collides beams of protons and antiprotons
-
superconducting supercollider
a collider that operates at very low temperatures
-
synchrocyclotron
cyclotron that achieves relativistic velocities by modulating the frequency of the accelerating electric field
-
synchrotron
cyclotron in which the electric field is maintained at a constant frequency
