cyclotron

• Ein wissenschaftliches Gerät, das geladene Teilchen mithilfe eines Magnetfelds und eines elektrischen Wechselfelds auf hohe Energien beschleunigt, typischerweise im Bereich von mehreren Millionen Elektronenvolt. Es handelt sich um einen kreisförmigen Teilchenbeschleuniger.

A scientific device that accelerates charged particles to high energies, typically in the range of several million electron-volts, using a magnetic field and alternating electric fields.
