An accelerant is any substance or mixture that "accelerates" the development of fire. Accelerants are often used to commit arson, and some accelerants may cause an explosion. An accelerant (or accelerator) is any substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction, such as oxidation or the curing of an adhesive. Conversely, a decelerant (or retarder) inhibits the rate of a chemical reaction. A fire is an exothermic oxidation reaction that when accelerated produces more heat, consumes the reactants more quickl ...

The accelerator effect in economics refers to a positive effect on private fixed investment of the growth of the market economy (measured e.g. by Gross Domestic Product). Rising GDP (an economic boom or prosperity) implies that businesses in general see rising profits, increased sales and cash flow, and greater use of existing capacity. This usually implies that profit expectations and business confidence rise, encouraging businesses to build more factories and other buildings and to install more machinery. (This expenditure is called ...

Accelerator physics deals with the problems of building and operating particle accelerators. The experiments conducted with particle accelerators are not regarded as part of accelerator physics. These belong (according to the objectives of the experiments) to particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, materials physics, etc. as well as to other sciences and technical fields. The types of experiments done at a particular accelerator and/or its other uses are largely constrained by the characteristics of the accelerator itself, such as energy (per particl ...

Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity over time. In SI units, it is measured in radians per second squared (rad/s²), and usually denotes by the Greek letter alpha (). For constant values of angular acceleration, a rotating body conforms to the rotational equations of motion. See also.

A cavity resonator uses resonance to amplify an electromagnetic wave. The cavity has interior surfaces which reflects an electromagnetic wave of a specific frequency. When a wave that is resonant with the cavity enters, it bounces back and forth within the cavity, with low loss (See standing wave). As more wave energy enters the cavity, it combines with and reinforces the standing wave, increasing its intensity. Cavity resonator - Examples. Some common examples of cavity resonators include the klystron tube ...

An object's weight, henceforth called "actual weight", is the downward force exerted upon it by the earth's gravity. By contrast, an object's apparent weight is the upward force (the normal force, or reaction force), typically transmitted through the ground, that opposes gravity and prevents a supported object from falling. It is apparent weight, rather than actual weight, that a spring weighing scale measures. Apparent weight is also responsi ...

To accelerate an object is to change its velocity in relation to time. In this strict scientific sense, acceleration can have positive and negative values – respectively called acceleration (velocity is increased) and deceleration (or retardation -- velocity is decreased) in common speech – as well as change of direction. Acceleration is a vector defined by properties of magnitude (size or measureabililty) and direction. When either speed or direction are ...

In astrodynamics or celestial mechanics a circular orbit is an elliptic orbit with the eccentricity equal to 0. It is an example of a rotation around a fixed axis: this axis is the line through the center of mass perpendicular to the plane of motion. Circular orbit - Circular acceleration. Transverse acceleration (perpendicular to velocity) causes change in direction. If it is constant in magnitude and changing in direction with the velocity, we get a circular motion. For this centripetal accelera ...

A cyclotron accelerates charged particles with a high-frequency, alternating voltage (potential difference). A perpendicular magnetic field causes the particles to go almost in a circle. The beam spirals out to the edge of the container, as the particles' speeds increase. At this point, the particles' speed approaches the speed of light. The cyclotron was invented by Ernest Lawrence of the University of California, in 1929. He used it in experiments that required particles with energy of up to 1 MeV. Cyclotrons are used today t ...

In a circular accelerator, particles move in a circle until they reach sufficient energy. The particle track is typically bent into a circle using electromagnets. The advantage of circular accelerators over linear accelerators (linacs) is that the ring topology allows continued acceleration, as the particle can transit indefinitely. Another advantage is that a linac would have to be extremel ...

At present the highest energy accelerators are all circular colliders, but it is likely that limits have been reached in respect of compensating for synchrotron radiation losses, and the next generation will probably be linear accelerators 10 times the current length. An example of such a next generation accelerator is the 40 km long International Linear Collider, due to be constructed between 2015-2020. As of 2005, it is believed that plasma wakefield acceleration in the form of electron-beam 'afterburners' and standalone laser pulse ...

The output of a particle accelerator can generally be directed towards multiple lines of experiments, one at a given time, by means of a deviating electromagnet. This makes it possible to operate multiple experiments without needing to move things around or shutting down the entire accelerator beam. Except for synchrotron radiation sources, the purpose of an accelerator is to generate high energy particles for interaction with matter. This is usually a fixed target, such as the phosphor coating on the back of the screen in the ...
