Question: What is a partial excelirator

Oliver Gordon answered on 10 Mar 2019:

A particle accelerator (such as the Large Hadron Collider) is something that makes particles that are smaller than atoms (such as electrons, protons and neutrons) that we want to investigate go at nearly the speed of light (300,000,000 metres every second!). We normally then crash them into something (usually another particle) and see what happens.

I don’t work in this area though. Leigh would know far more than me!
