The working principle of a cyclotron involves the use of an electric field to accelerate charge particles across the gap between two D shaped magnetic field regions. ... The radius of each particle�s path increases with its speed, so the accelerated particles spiral toward the outer wall of the cyclotron.

Cyclotron :
Cyclotron is a device used to accelerate the charged particles to gain large kinetic energy. It is also called as high energy accelerator. It was invented by Lawrence and Livingston in 1934.
Principle :
When a charged particle moves normal to the magnetic field, it experiences magnetic Lorentz force
Limitations of cyclotron :
(a) the speed of the ion is limited
(b) electron cannot be accelerated
(c) uncharged particles cannot be accelerated.
