Accelerator Science
Accelerator Science is a field that focuses on the design and use of particle accelerators, which are machines that propel charged particles, such as electrons and protons, to high speeds. These accelerators are essential for conducting experiments in physics, helping scientists explore fundamental questions about the universe, matter, and energy.
Researchers in Accelerator Science work on improving accelerator technology, making them more efficient and powerful. This research supports various applications, including medical treatments, materials science, and even the study of the Higgs boson at facilities like the Large Hadron Collider.
