Particle Accelerators
Cards in this deck (2)
- 1Cyclotron-Electric fields accelerate the particles between the dee's
-So particles have a constant frequency
-Polarity of dee switches every half cycle
-Magnetic field is at right angles to particles motion
-Particles maintain circular motion whilst on dees
-Radius of particle increases as particles get faster (spiral shape) - 2Linac-Tubes of increasing size
-Connected to an alternating current that switches polarity of tubes when electron is between them
-Electric field accelerates electrons between tubes
