Accelerator physics refers to the study of particle accelerators, which are scientific instruments that boost charged particles to very high speeds. The field focuses on understanding and controlling the behavior of these particles as they move and interact within these accelerators.
Accelerator physics plays a crucial role in various scientific disciplines, such as nuclear physics, particle physics, and medical research, as it enables scientists to investigate the fundamental properties of matter and study the behavior of particles at high energies.
