Particle accelerators are machines that use electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles, such as electrons, protons, or ions, to high speeds and contain them in well-defined beams. They serve a variety of purposes in both research and practical applications. \#\#\# Main Types of Particle Accelerators 1. **Linear Accelerators (Linacs)**: These accelerate particles along a straight path.
