What is a cycling?

Cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator that uses a constant magnetic field and alternating electrical fields to accelerate the particle in spiral movement. These types of particle accelerators were among the first proposed and have several advantages over early linear accelerators such as smaller size requirements. Although advances in technology allowed more complex types of particle accelerators, there are still certain uses for cycling in a number of different fields. Cyklotron can still be used in experimenting with physics, especially as an early part of a multi -stage accelerator. Acceleration of particles usually requires a relatively long distance to allow the particles to allow sufficient speeds for use in experiments. However, the design of the cycling allows less accelerator to be used for a high effect, as the particles move in a circular movement and travels long distance without required a long straight corridor for passage.

Cyclotron basically works using a pair of high -performance electrodes, each shaped as "D" with flat sides towards each other to form a complete circular shape. Starting with the center of the circle, the particle begins to move from the center, but instead of attractiveness and repelment, instead is drawn into a circular movement. The diodes alternate between them, so the particles are accelerated towards one, then curved around as it is pushed and attracts to the other, then continues in the formula between the two electrodes. This would create a perfect circular movement if it remained alone, but between two diodes that are perpendicular to the circular movement of the particle, a magnetic field is created.

This magnetic field slightly moves the movement of the particle, so every time it passes between two electrodes, it moves a little from the center of the circle. By slightly movement of the particle slightly outwards, the path it does during the acceleration becomes a growing spiral rather than a circle. This allows the particles to eventually hit the target cloudST on the inside of the detention unit where it can be redirected for further study or use.

One of the main disadvantages of cycling is that the target area can only be used for particles that only move at a speed that can be correctly calculated using Newton's physics. Higher speeds would cause relativistic effects and the target would not be properly affected, which means that cycling usually cannot produce the levels of acceleration that can newer, linear accelerators. However, isochronic cycling systems have been developed that can compensate for relativistic particles and can be quite Effective.
