These accelerators are complex machines used to accelerate charged particles, such as electrons or protons, to high speeds, often close to the speed of light. Accelerator physicists work on a variety of tasks including: 1. **Designing Accelerators**: They develop the theoretical models and simulations to design new types of accelerators or improve existing ones.
