Question

what is meant by cyclotron?

Answer 1

hey mates(+_+)(+_+)


A cyclotron is a type of particle acceleratorinvented by Sándor Gaál and Ernest O. Lawrence in 1929-1930 at the University of California, Berkeley,[1][2] and patented in 1932.[3][4] A cyclotron accelerates charged particles outwards from the center along a spiral path.[5][6] The particles are held to a spiral trajectory by a static magnetic field and accelerated by a rapidly varying (radio frequency) electric field. Ernest O. Lawrence was awarded the 1939 Nobel prize in physicsfor this invention.[6][7]

Cyclotrons were the most powerful particle accelerator technology until the 1950s when they were superseded by the synchrotron, and are still used to produce particle beams in physics and nuclear medicine. The largest single-magnet cyclotron was the 4.67 m (184 in) synchrocyclotron built between 1940 and 1946 by Lawrence at the University of California at Berkeley,[1][6] which could accelerate protons to 730 million electron volts (MeV). The largest cyclotron is the 17.1 m (56 ft) multimagnet TRIUMFaccelerator at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbiawhich can produce 500 MeV protons.

Answer 2

hey mate here is your answer.
an apparatus in which charged atomic and subatomic particles are accelerated by an alternating electric field while following an outward spiral or circular path in a magnetic field.

Hope this helps you please mark as brain list
