The first particle accelerator was invented by physicist Ernest Orlando Lawrence in 1931. He developed the cyclotron, which used magnetic fields to accelerate charged particles in a circular path. Lawrence's invention revolutionized experimental physics and led to many important discoveries in the field of particle physics.
The technical name for an atom smasher is a particle accelerator. It is a device used to accelerate charged particles to high speeds and collide them to study fundamental particles and forces in physics.
The device is called a Particle Accelerator.
No, according to the theory of relativity, it is impossible for any particle with mass to reach or exceed the speed of light. Accelerators can increase the speed of particles to high fractions of the speed of light, but they cannot exceed it.
A linear accelerator mainly accelerates charged particles like electrons and protons. Neutrons, as neutral particles, are not affected by electric fields and thus would not be accelerated by a linear accelerator.
No, particle accelerators are used to accelerate particles at high speeds to study their behavior and interactions. They are not typically used to induce fusion reactions to create new elements. Fusion reactions are typically achieved in specialized reactors that require high temperatures and pressures.
The synchrotron was invented in 1949 by Edwin McMillan and Vladimir Veksler. It is a type of particle accelerator that uses magnetic fields to accelerate charged particles to high speeds for various scientific research and applications.
The atom smasher, also known as a particle accelerator, was developed by a team of physicists including John Cockroft and Ernest Walton in 1932. They built the first successful particle accelerator to split the atomic nucleus.
Nothing unless the atoms form a target. A PARTICLE accelerator accelerates PARTICLES not atoms.

they bend and/or focus the beam.
It is false.
