What is another word for atomic accelerator?
Pronunciation: [ɐtˈɒmɪk ɐksˈɛləɹˌe͡ɪtə] (IPA) 
An atomic accelerator is a device that accelerates charged particles to incredibly high energies, typically in the millions of electronvolts (MeV) or even billions of electronvolts (GeV). There are several different synonyms for atomic accelerator, including particle accelerator, high-energy particle accelerator, ion accelerator, and cyclotron. Particle accelerator is a general term that encompasses any device that accelerates particles, while a high-energy particle accelerator is specifically designed to achieve extremely high energies. An ion accelerator refers to a category of particle accelerators that primarily accelerates ions. Finally, a cyclotron is a type of ion accelerator that uses a magnetic field to guide charged particles in a circular path, increasing their energy with each pass.
