How Do Particle Accelerators Work? If you have an older tv, you own an accelerator! Acceleration occurs when a charged particle “falls” through a voltage difference. So stack up some batteries. A battery is about a buck and provides a 1.5 Volt difference – a buck/ev = a Gigabuck/GeV. BNL AGS, Cern PS, and Fermilab original design were a megabuck/GeV – quite a bargain – 1/1000 cost of batteries and does not bump the moon as it goes by! Brute Force Accelerators:Make a high voltage and drop a charged particle through it Van de Graaff – Charge must go to surface of a conductor. Clever way to
