Basic information of accelerator
An accelerator is a device that increases the speed (kinetic energy) of charged particles. Accelerators can be used in nuclear experiments, radiomedicine, radiochemistry, radioisotope manufacturing, non-destructive flaw detection, etc. The increased energy of particles is generally above 0.1 megaelectron volts. There are many types of accelerators, including cyclotrons, linear accelerators, electrostatic accelerators, particle accelerators, and voltage doublers.
