The first particle accelerator was built more around the time of 1927 (resonance linear accelerator) about eight years after Rutherford first split the nucleus. But not too sure one that, I have other sources saying 1929, but definitely not as late as 1972. I do know that the first successful cyclotron (a type of circular particle accelerator, which was basically the ground work for the cynchrocyclotron spelling?) was built and tested in 1931 by Ernest Lawrence.

Are particle accelerators the same as super colliders?
Sort of. Particle accelerators are anything that take particles (usually electrons or protons) and accelerate them to high speeds. Super colliders are really powerful particle accelerators along with a bunch of equipment to measure what happens when the particles collide. So when someone talks about a particle accelerator, they're usually talking about colliders. But there are lots of things that are particle accelerators that aren't colliders. The old CRT computer monitors (heavy ones that are about as deep as they are wide) accelerate electrons and shoot them into the glass plate in front to make light, so there's a particle accelerator inside.
How do you build a homemade particle accelerator that doesn't cost too much?

Where was the first bridge ever built?
Bridges have been built since the stone age, it is impossible to say where or when the first one was built.
What time period where the aqueducts built in?
the first aqueduct was built in 691 bc
How does a magnetic accelerator work?
Energy changes from ball to ball down the accelerator just as it does in Newton's cradle. It functions on the transfer of momentum.
Where was the first particle accelerator built?
The first and the most common one is a simple radio
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 was the first synthetic element to be made by colliding nuclei a particle accelerator?
curium
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 does a particle accelerator do to atoms?
Nothing unless the atoms form a target. A PARTICLE accelerator accelerates PARTICLES not atoms.
What was the first synthethiv element to be made by colliding nuclei in a particle accelerator?
Technetium is the only element below uranium that does not exist on Earth. It is a synthetic (man-made) element produced in a particle accelerator
