In the text it says the LHC at CERN is the most powerful accelerator. The beam power is definded as the beam current times the all over accelerating voltage the particles have seen. Furthermore, LHC is a storage ring and does not provide a DC (constant or CW) beam. Other facilities like the SNS in Oak Ridge or the PSI cyclotron in Switzerland provide DC beams with beam powers of up to 1.42 MW. Commonly the accelerator community regards them as the most powerful accelerators. I think LHC should be described in a way that it provides the highest kinetic energy not highest power.Delos1970 (talk) 16:27, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

What is a suitable short description for "particle accelerator"? Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 02:19, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
I cleaned up the grammar on the "accelerator operator" section, although there's probably still room for improvement. However - is there even a point in HAVING that section in a general article about particle accelerators? Is a sufficiently notable part of the concept to require a section?

There is an article from Science News at Tiny accelerators get electrons up to speed using lasers. I'm unable to find a page for semiconductor version of particle accelerator here. Rjluna2 (talk) 15:43, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
