Study Notes

Cyclotron Accelerator

  • Invented by E.O. Lawrence and M.S. Livingston in 1934
  • A type of particle accelerator that uses a circular path to accelerate charged particles
  • Charged particles accelerate through a "Dee" in a cyclotron accelerator
  • Particles are directed towards a designated target for a specific purpose

Operating Principle

  • Based on Lorentz's force, which is the fundamental principle behind the cyclotron accelerator
