A site that explains the physics behind particle Accelerators?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding educational resources that explain the physics of particle accelerators at a high school level, specifically including equations such as the Lorentz force and oscillating fields. The user has already explored the Department of Energy and CERN websites but found them lacking in detailed equations. A recommended resource is the Wikipedia article on particle accelerators, which provides a comprehensive overview and includes numerous references for further study.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic waves
  • Familiarity with the Lorentz force
  • Basic knowledge of particle physics
  • Ability to interpret scientific equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Wikipedia article on particle accelerators for foundational knowledge
  • Research the Lorentz force and its applications in particle acceleration
  • Investigate oscillating fields and their role in particle accelerators
  • Look into additional educational resources such as Khan Academy's physics courses
USEFUL FOR

High school students preparing for exams in physics, educators seeking teaching materials on particle accelerators, and anyone interested in the fundamental principles of particle physics and electromagnetic theory.

Please, can you give me a site where the physics of particle accelerators is explaimed with numbers and equations to high school Level? I found the site of the department of Energy and the cern but there are not equations like the lorentz force and the oscillating fields... I need something a little more specific, I need it for an individual work for the high school exam, I am making this work on partice accelerators and I want to link what I learned from high school oN electromagnetic waves and lorentz force to the particle accelerators

Please help me

Thanks

The Wikipedia article is pretty good, and has lots of References & Links at the end for more detailed reading:
