synchrotron

n. particle accelerator (Physics)

This article is concerned with the synchrotron device — a sub-atomic particle accelerator. For applications of the synchrotron radiation produced by cyclic particle accelerators see synchrotron light.A synchrotron is a particular type of cyclic particle accelerator in which the magnetic field (to turn the particles so they circulate) and the electric field (to accelerate the particles) are carefully synchronized with the travelling particle beam. They were originally developed by Luis Walter Alvarez to study high-energy particle physics.
