Accelerator physics deals with the problems of building and operating particle accelerators. One of the early particle accelerators responsible for development of the atomic bomb. ...

The experiments conducted with particle accelerators are not regarded as part of accelerator physics. These belong (according to the objectives of the experiments) to particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, materials physics, etc. as well as to other sciences and technical fields. The types of experiments done at a particular accelerator and/or its other uses are largely constrained by the characteristics of the accelerator itself, such as energy (per particle), types of particles, beam intensity, beam quality, etc. Particles erupt from the collision point of two relativistic (100 GeV) gold ions in the STAR detector of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. ... Nuclear physics is the branch of physics concerned with the nucleus of the atom. ... Condensed matter physics (or many-body physics) is the field of physics that deals with the macroscopic physical properties of matter. ... Materials physics is a field of physics concerned with the physical properties of materials. ...

The motion of the particles in circular accelerators is often calculated using relativistic Hamiltonian mechanics. The motion of particles in linear accelerators and after leaving an accelerator is similar to Geometric optics. Magnetostatic, electromagnetic and electrostatic calculations are usually needed. Vacuum and sensor technologies are often important. Wikisource has original text related to this article: Relativity: The Special and General Theory Albert Einsteins theory of relativity is a set of two scientific theories in physics: special relativity and general relativity. ... Hamiltonian mechanics is a re-formulation of classical mechanics that was invented in 1833 by William Rowan Hamilton. ... See also list of optical topics. ... In physics, magnetism is one of the phenomena by which materials exert an attractive or repulsive force on other materials. ... Electromagnetism is the physics of the electromagnetic field: a field, encompassing all of space, composed of the electric field and the magnetic field. ... Electrostatics is the branch of physics that deals with the force exerted by a static (i. ...
