syn·chro·tron S0965100 (sĭng′krə-trŏn′, sĭn′-)n. An accelerator in which charged particles are accelerated around a fixed circular path by an electric field and held to the path by an increasing magnetic field.synchrotron (ˈsɪŋkrəˌtrɒn) n (General Physics) a type of particle accelerator similar to a betatron but having an electric field of fixed frequency with electrons but not with protons as well as a changing magnetic field. It is capable of producing very high energies in the GeV range[C20: from synchro- + (elec)tron]syn•chro•tron (ˈsɪŋ krəˌtrɒn) n. a type of cyclotron consisting of magnetic sections alternately spaced with sections in which particles are electrostatically accelerated. [1945–50] syn·chro·tron (sĭng′krə-trŏn′) A device that accelerates charged subatomic particles, such as protons and electrons, in a circular path, greatly increasing their energies. Unlike cyclotrons that consist of a continuous spiral through which particles are accelerated, synchrotrons consist of a single tube in the shape of a large ring. The particles rotate over and over again through this tube at increasing speeds. Synchrotrons are used to study subatomic structures.

syn·chro·tron (sin'krō-tron), A machine for generating high-speed electrons or protons, as for nuclear studies.synchrotron A cyclotron which accelerates electrons via a pulsating magnetic field, imparting up to 20 MeV of energy. The first medical betatron was opened in the 1950s, but were limited by the low attainable strength of the magnetic field and the size of the magnetic core.synchrotron (sĭng′kră-trŏn″) A particle accelerator used in medical imaging that accelerates positively or negatively charged particles.synchrotronenUK
