Using electric fields. But velocity is increased step by step. In case of linear accelerator successive alternating right polarity accelerates to a higher uniform speed and it travels through proportionate lengthy tunnels. In case of cyclotron both electric (alternating) and intense magnetic field are used to increase the speed step by step.

What is the name of the Particle accelerator complex located beneath the Franco-Swiss border?
It is called the CERN accelerator complex. The complex consists of the following Particle accelerators: Linear accelerator I & II, Proton Synchrotron Booster, Low energy ring, Proton Synchrotron, Super proton snchrotron, and the Large Hadron Collider (as of Oct 18, 2009.)
What particle can not be accerlated by the electric or magnetic field in a particle accelerator?
The ones that have more mass than the accelerator can move.
Is a particle accelerator used to provide charged particles with sufficient kinetic energy to penetrate a nucleus?
yes it is a particle accelerator ;D
Where can someone find CERN particle accelerator?
CERN is the largest particle physics research laboratory in the world. People can arrange a visit to CERN. The particle accelerator is included in the itinerary.
How is a cyclotron used to treat patients?
A cyclotron is used to accelerate protons, which are used in the medical treatment of patients prescribed this form of therapy. It is an accelerated proton source. Proton therapy is gaining in use, but as it takes a cyclotron, which is a nuclear particle accelerator, to provide the accelerated protons, it costs a small fortune to set up a treatment center. The treatment begins with winding up the beast to gather and accelerate the protons (which is where the cyclotron comes in), and then the direction of the particle stream through appropriate (highly evacuated) plumbing to a treatment room. There, a patient is set up in front of the "business end" of the proton "gun" and positioned appropriately to administer the dose or radiation.

What is the fasting accelerating object in the world?
a particle accelerated by a particle accelerator - That's my best guess
What is a beampipe?
A beampipe is the evacuated chamber through which a beam of particles is accelerated in a particle accelerator.

Is an alpha particle and a proton released from the centre of the cycltron and made to accelerated at the same cyclotron frequency?
the alpha particle will accelerate slower and follow a tighter/smaller spiral outward than the proton.
Why would a scientist choose a particle accelerator over a nuclear reactor?
A particle accelerator will provide a beam of charged particles, which are accelerated by a magnetic flux, a nuclear reactor will provide a flux of neutrons (which are uncharged). Depends what sort of experiment you are doing
What is a positively charged subatomic paricle?
The proton is a positively charged subatomic particle
What instrument do scientists use to smash together tiny bits of matter?
A machine that smashes atoms together in order to observe what the universe may have looked like seconds after the "Big Bang" is called a particle accelerator. who ever is asking this is wondering what its CALLED not what it does! btw: Particle accelerator.
What is proton synchrocyclotron?
A proton synchrocyclotron is a particle accelerator that accelerates protons to just below the speed of light for scientific experiments or medical treatment. The protons are usually supplied in the form of Hydrogen gas and the synchrocyclotron is similar to a cyclotron, except that the magnetic field is variable instead of fixed. It is available in both Superconducting and non-Superconducting varieties and the most common application in recent times is as one type of accelerator for advanced particle therapy, such as proton radiation therapy. Hope this helps..
What particle can not be accerlated by the electric or magnetic field in a particle accelerator?
The ones that have more mass than the accelerator can move.
What was the first synthetic element to be made by a particle accelerator?
The first synthetic element to be made by a particle accelerator was technetium
What does a particle accelerator do to atoms?
Nothing unless the atoms form a target. A PARTICLE accelerator accelerates PARTICLES not atoms.
What branch of physics uses particle accelerator?
