1Accelerator physics — deals with the problems of building and operating particle accelerators.The experiments conducted with particle accelerators are not regarded as part of accelerator physics. These belong (according to the objectives of the experiments) to… …
2Beam-powered propulsion — is a class of spacecraft propulsion mechanisms that use energy beamed to the spacecraft from a remote power plant. Most designs are rocket engines where the energy is provided by the beam, and is used to superheat propellant that then provides… …
3Beam emittance — The beam emittance of a particle accelerator is the extent occupied by the particles of the beam in space and momentum phase space as it travels. A low emittance particle beam is a beam where the particles are confined to a small distance and… …
4Beam dump — A beam dump is a device that absorbs a beam. This may be a beam of photons ( light ) such as a laser beam, or a beam of electrically charged particles.Optical beam dumpsAn optical beam dump is an optical element used to absorb a beam of light.… …
5Accelerator Test Facility — The Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) is a test accelerator in the KEK laboratory in Tsukuba, Japan. It is a test bed for production of the beam for the proposed International Linear Collider (ILC) linear electron positron collider.Its main goal is …
6Accelerator operator — An accelerator operator controls the operation of a particle accelerator used in research experiments, reviews an experiment schedule to determine experiment parameters specified by an experimenter (physicist), adjust particle beam parameters… …
7Beam crossing — A beam crossing in a particle collider occurs when two packets of particles, going in opposite directions, reach the same point in space. Most of the particles in each packet cross each other, but a few may collide, producing other particles that …
8Particle accelerator — Atom smasher redirects here. For other uses, see Atom smasher (disambiguation). A 1960s single stage 2 MeV linear Van de Graaff accelerator, here opened for maintenance A particle accelerator[1] is a device that uses electromagnetic fields to… …
9particle accelerator — accelerator (def. 7). [1945 50] * * * Device that accelerates a beam of fast moving, electrically charged atoms (ions) or subatomic particles. Accelerators are used to study the structure of atomic nuclei (see atom) and the nature of subatomic… …
