Synchrocyclotron

 

Synchrocyclotron

A synchrocyclotron is a cyclotron that varies either its magnetic field or its frequency to compensate for mass gain of the particles accelerated to near the speed of light. This does not address the physical cost constraints of the cyclotron structure and so the synchrotron was invented to achieve higher powers.
