The development of particle accelerators is traced from the simple but ingenious table-top devices conceived during the late 1920s to the present day's large, complex machines which extend over tens of kilometers. The emphasis is on Rolf Wideröe and his seminal contributions to the field. Not only did Wideröe construct the first accelerator which accelerated charged particles to an energy higher than the maximum voltage difference is the accelerator proper, he also invented particle colliders, today's work horse in experimental particle physics.
粒子加速器的发展历程可追溯到20世纪20年代末构思出的简单却精巧的桌面装置，直至如今占地绵延数十公里的大型复杂机器。重点讲述了罗尔夫·维德罗及其对该领域的开创性贡献。维德罗不仅建造了第一台能将带电粒子加速到高于加速器本身最大电压差所对应能量的加速器，还发明了粒子对撞机，而粒子对撞机如今是实验粒子物理学的主力设备。
