A device that accelerates electrically charged particles to extremely high speeds, for the purpose of inducing high energy reactions or producing high energy radiation.

(classical mechanics) The rate of change of angular velocity, often represented by α.

(physics) A particle accelerator that uses plasma as the medium of the accelerating field instead of a vacuum, to obtain a larger accelerating gradient.

(physics) A method for accelerating electrically charged particles with a large-amplitude electron plasma wave.

(law) a provision in a contract that makes all obligations to be performed under the contract due immediately upon a specific occurrence, such as a breach

(physics) The acceleration from rest to the speed of light in one Planck time.

plural of Planck acceleration

plural of accelerating force

plural of angular acceleration

(physics) A four-vector that describes the change in a particle's four-velocity over time
