Building a Particle Accelerator

[SmarterThanGod]

Can anyone give me a link to or information about how to build a PRACTICAL particle accelerator? Like one that would fit inside a basement or garage? Please, no handhelds that can't do much, and no mile-long underground accelerators that require their own nuclear power plant. I am interested in knowing how they are built, and (possibly) to build one myself for research. Thank You

are there any sites with clear, consie directions and plans, materials lists, etc. for dummies with little electric experience? those are more of a book on how PA's work, not their actual construction
