कण भौतिकी के त्वरकों की सूची

नीचे उन कण त्वरकों की सूची दी गयी है जो कण भौतिकी के प्रयोगों में प्रयुक्त होते हैं। कुछ आरम्भिक त्वरकों को भी इसमें शामिल किया गया है जो नाभिकीय भौतिकी में अनुसंधान के लिये प्रयुक्त हुए थे क्योंकि तब तक नाभिकीय भौतिकी और कण भौतिकी अलग-अलग नहीं थे।

ये सभी केवल एक पुंज (beams) वाले थे और इनका लक्ष्य (targets) अपरिवर्तनीय (फिक्स्ड) था।

^[1] First accelerator built at the current Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory site, then known as the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory ("Rad Lab" for short)

More modern accelerators that were also run in fixed target mode; often, they will also have been run as colliders, or accelerated particles for use in subsequently-built colliders.

Besides the real accelerators listed above, there are hypothetical accelerators often used as hypothetical examples or optimistic projects by particle physicists.

• Planckatron is a term often used colloquially by particle physicists to describe the accelerator with a center-of-mass energy of the order of the Planck scale. It is estimated that the radius of the Planckatron has to be roughly the radius of the Milky Way.
• Eloisatron (Eurasiatic Long Intersecting Storage Accelerator) was a project of INFN headed by Antonio Zichichi at the Ettore Majorana Foundation in Erice, Sicily. The center-of-mass energy was planned to be 200 TeV, and the size was planned to span parts of Europe and Asia.
• Fermitron was an accelerator sketched by Enrico Fermi on a notepad in the 1940s proposing an accelerator in stable orbit around the earth.
• Arguably also in this category falls the Zevatron, a term used to describe hypothetical sources for ultra-high-energy cosmic rays.
