Nowadays, several thousand accelerators are at work around the world in an extensive area of applications, ranging from industrial processes to scientific discoveries. Today’s particle accelerators address many of the confronting challenges like energy, environment, economy and industry for the worldwide nations. Fast growing in such requirements, persuades the nations to match themselves in this research context, putting the accelerators to work on the challenges of our time. In this talk, we have a brief overview on the field of accelerator physics from the historical point of view and try to answer some fundamental questions about the accelerators through the story of over 80 years but very fast progress in this subject. Here the different types of accelerators from the birth point to the present time with the physics behind will be presented and discussed, respectively.
