synchrocyclotron

Definitions

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

  • noun A cyclotron that modulates the frequency of the electric fields that accelerate a particle, thereby synchronizing the accelerating forces with the particle as its relativistic mass increases with velocity.

  • noun 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.
