1. synchrocyclotronnoun

   A particle accelerator like a cyclotron, but which operates at variable frequency to account for the particles gaining energy, allowing for greater energies to be achieved.

2. Etymology: From synchro- + cyclotron.

1. synchrocyclotron

   A synchrocyclotron is a type of cyclotron, a particular kind of particle accelerator, in which the frequency of the driving radio frequency electromagnetic field is varied to match the particle's increase in mass as its speed approaches the speed of light. This ensures that the particle remains in phase with the driving field. The synchrocyclotron is used to accelerate protons and other particles to high energies for research and medical purposes.

1. Synchrocyclotron

   A synchrocyclotron is a special type of cyclotron, patented by Edwin McMillan, in which the frequency of the driving RF electric field is varied to compensate for relativistic effects as the particles' velocity begins to approach the speed of light. This is in contrast to the classical cyclotron, where this frequency is constant. There are two major differences between the synchrocyclotron and the classical cyclotron. In the synchrocyclotron, only one dee retains its classical shape, while the other pole is open. Furthermore, the frequency of oscillating electric field in a synchrocyclotron is decreasing continuously instead of kept constant so as to maintain cyclotron resonance for relativistic velocities. One terminal of the oscillating electric potential varying periodically is applied to the dee and the other terminal is on ground potential. The proton or deuterons to be accelerated are made to move in circles of increasing radii. The acceleration of particles takes place as they enter or leave D. at the outer edge, the ion beam can be removed with the aid of electrostatic deflector. It was possible to produce 200MeV deuterons and 400MeV α-particle with the first synchrocyclotron.
