synchrocyclotron (dict)

SynchrocyclotronA 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. See also - Cyclotron — this contains a mathematics section that assumes constancy of mass, and an extensive see also section.
