Definition of Cyclotron
A circular particle accelerator in which charged
subatomic particles generated at a central source are
accelerated spirally outward in a plane perpendicular to a
fixed magnetic field by an alternating electric field. A
cyclotron is capable of generating particle energies
between a few million and several tens of millions of
electron volts.
PRINCIPLE OF CYCLOTRON :
It is based on the principle that a positive ion can acquire
sufficiently large energy with a comparatively smaller
alternating potential difference by making them to cross
the same electric field time and again by making use of a
strong magnetic field.
Cyclotron radiation
Cyclotron radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted
by moving charge d particles deflected by a magnetic
field. The Lorentz force on the particles acts
perpendicular to both the magnetic field lines and the
particles' motion through them, creating an acceleration
of charged particles.
FUNCTIONS:
Cyclotrons have a single electrical driver, which saves
both money and power, since more expense may be
allocated to increasing efficiency.
Cyclotrons produce a continuous stream of particles at
the target, so the average power is relatively high.
The compactness of the device reduces other costs, such
as its foundations, radiation shielding, and the enclosing
building.
