= Accelerator technician
An <accelerator technician> supports the construction, alignment, operation and maintenance of a <particle accelerator> and its subsystems. Vacuum equipment, magnets, electrical power, radio-frequency systems and diagnostics must work together to maintain a specified beam.
A beam-loss <observation> can have several causes, so troubleshooting compares instrument signals with the expected transport and timing. Reliable <measurements> and documented subsystem behavior are part of making accelerator <experiments> reproducible.
