	Particle Accelerators (Atom Smashers) (from nuclear energy) -- Britannica Student Encyclopedia
		Particle accelerators are machines that accelerate charged particles in a high vacuum by electromagnetic interactions.
		When the particles reach a high velocity, they are made to strike either on a fixed metal target or, in machines called colliders, on a beam of particles traveling in the opposite direction.
		At the center of each atom is a tiny core called a nucleus that is surrounded by a cloud of electrons—electrically charged particles that move in the outer regions of the atom.

		A present theory, the "standard model" of elementary particle physics, is sufficiently complete to permit, in principle, the prediction of all kinds of nuclear and atomic interactions as derived "effective" forces, in the same sense that chemical interactions can be derived from the rules of atomic physics.
		The Duke Nuclear and Particle Theory group develops techniques for achieving this, and is studying applications to the internal structure of nucleons and nuclei.
		We also interact closely with nuclear theory and experimental groups at North Carolina State and the University of North Carolina, with whom we run the bi-weekly Triangle Nuclear Theory Colloquium.

	Theoretical Nuclear and Particle Physics Group
		The research interests of the Nuclear and Particle theory group cover a wide range of problems in the physics of the strong and electroweak interactions and in the many- body theory of strongly interacting systems.
		Exact Monte Carlo methods suitable for the nuclear many-body problem are being developed and applied to investigate a wide variety of properties depending on the bound and continuum spectra of the nuclei, such as, for example, very low-energy electroweak capture reactions, or the response to lepton an hadronic probes in the quasi-elastic regime.
		In this method, the nuclear Hamiltonian is written as the sum of square-root kinetic energy operators, two- and three-nucleon rest-frame interactions, and their boost corrections.
