Accelerator physicist
An accelerator physicist[1] is a scientist who contributes to the field of accelerator physics, involving the fundamental physical mechanisms underlying beams of charged particles accelerated to high energies and the structures and materials needed to do so. In addition to developing and applying such basic theoretical models, an accelerator physicist contributes to the design, operation and optimization of particle accelerators.
