What are particle accelerators used for? A particle accelerator is a device that uses electric fields to propel electrically charged particles in a vacuum‚ which approach the speed of light‚ towards each other and collide. The result hopefully being that the kinetic energy in the particles and other energy converted into subatomic particles or various types of nuclear radiation. There is more than one type of particle accelerator; they come in two basic types: • Linear • Circular Linear
