Why do scientists need particle accelerators to discover new particles and to study the properties of known particles? charge greater than less Particle accelerators allow scientists to accelerate subatomic particles to very high speeds( the speed of light). At these speeds, collisions between the accelerated particles and particles in a stationary target have sufficient energy to produce new particles and/or known particles via energy conversion greater near For example, the mediators of the weak nuclear interaction have very large rest energies, so the energy of the accelerated particles had to be mediators in collisions. Studying their decay modes and products allows us to deduce their properties (mass, quantum numbers, etc.). velocity than this rest energy to liberate these mass
