Accelerator synonyms
Category:
atomic accelerator
Any of several machines, such as the cyclotron and linear accelerator, that increase the speed and energy of protons, electrons, or other atomic particles, and direct them at atomic nuclei or other particles to cause high-energy collisions. Such collisions produce other particles, whose paths are tracked and analyzed. Particle accelerators are used to study the nature of the atomic nucleus, subatomic particles, and the forces relating them, and to create radioactive isotopes.
(Informal) A particle accelerator.
activator
(Biology) Any chemical or agent which regulates one or more genes by increasing the rate of transcription.
cyclotron
A circular particle accelerator in which charged subatomic particles generated at a central source are accelerated spirally outward in a plane perpendicular to a fixed magnetic field by an alternating electric field. A cyclotron is capable of generating particle energies between a few million and several tens of millions of electron volts.
The hand lever or pedal that controls this valve
throttle valve
a valve that regulates the supply of fuel to the engine
a pedal that controls the throttle valve
(US, automotive) Accelerator; foot control for fuel flow.
