The main synchrotron will eventually be able to accelerate protons to 50 GeV/c.

Electric and magnetic forces can be used to accelerate and steer protons and electrons quite well.

It accelerates electrons, rather than protons, and sits in a tunnel 27km long.

This breakthrough concept in accelerator design allowed scientists to accelerate protons to energies that would have been otherwise unachievable.

Another way is to accelerate protons to very high energy and bash them into a target, causing atoms in the target to emit neutrons.

It accelerates protons and antiprotons to slightly less than 1 TeV of kinetic energy and collides them together.

The Large Hadron Collider accelerates protons to energies of 3.5 trillion electron volts around an 18-mile underground racetrack and then crashes them together.

Cyclotrons accelerate protons at a target to produce positron emitting radionuclides, e.g., fluorine-18.

Tevatron accelerates protons to world record energy of 512 GeV.

In their most famous experiment, they accelerated protons and bombarded lithium, showing that its nucleus split into two helium particles.
