Cyclotron in a sentence

Isochronous cyclotron An alternative to the synchrocyclotron is the isochronous cyclotron, which has a magnetic field that increases with radius, rather than with time.

The State Government will spend $23.3 million to buy and install a new cyclotron machine, which will increase the hospital’s abilities in providing radiopharmaceuticals for cancer, neurological conditions and other diseases.

But Wilson said what makes the cyclotron useful is its ability to generate difficult to produce medical isotopes.

Advantages and limitations Lawrence's 60-inch cyclotron, circa 1939, showing the beam of accelerated ions (likely protons or deuterons ) exiting the machine and ionizing the surrounding air causing a blue glow.

Also, the cyclotron frequency is constant in this case.

Called the SRC, for Superconducting Ring Cyclotron, it has 6 separated superconducting sectors, and is 19 m in diameter and 8 m high.

Diagram of cyclotron operation from Lawrence's 1934 patent.

Discovery The 60-inch cyclotron at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, in August 1939 Mendelevium was the ninth transuranic element to be synthesized.

For several years, Seaborg conducted important research in artificial radioactivity using the Lawrence cyclotron at UC Berkeley.

He cannot dig a ditch—or build a cyclotron—without a knowledge of his aim and the means to achieve it.

History Glenn T. Seaborg The convert cyclotron at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, in August 1939.

However, because of its 2-minute half-life, O-15 must be piped directly from a medical cyclotron for such uses, which is difficult.

However, it was necessary to upgrade the cyclotron to obtain the needed intensity of 10 14 alpha particles per second; Seaborg applied for the necessary funds.

In a British accent that sounded condescending to American ears, Chadwick suggested that what Lawrence's team was observing was contamination of their apparatus.sfn The convert cyclotron soon after completion in 1939.

In addition to the nuclear reactor, Szilard submitted patent applications for a linear accelerator in 1928, and a cyclotron in 1929.

In addition to the use of the cyclotron for physics, Lawrence also supported its use in research into medical uses of radioisotopes.

In general, since particles also have a velocity component along the magnetic field line, the Lorentz force constrains them to bend and move along spirals around the field lines at the cyclotron frequency.

Initial research on the properties of plutonium was done using cyclotron-generated plutonium-239, which was extremely pure, but could only be created in very small amounts.

In the case of light-ion bombardment inside a cyclotron, the heavy ion target is attached to a thin foil, and the generated einsteinium is simply washed off the foil after the irradiation.

In the cyclotron, in contrast, the particles encounter the accelerating voltage many times during their spiral path, and so are accelerated many times, so the output energy can be many times the accelerating voltage.
