synchrocyclotron
syn·chro·cy·clo·tron S0963800 (sĭng′krō-sī′klə-trŏn′, sĭn′-)n. A cyclotron that modulates the frequency of the electric fields that accelerate a particle, thereby synchronizing the accelerating forces with the particle as its relativistic mass increases with velocity.synchrocyclotron (ˌsɪŋkrəʊˈsaɪkləˌtrɒn) n (General Physics) a type of cyclotron in which the frequency of the electric field is modulated to allow for relativistic effects at high velocities and thus produce higher energiesThesaurusNoun | 1. | synchrocyclotron - cyclotron that achieves relativistic velocities by modulating the frequency of the accelerating electric fieldcyclotron - an accelerator that imparts energies of several million electron-volts to rapidly moving particles | Translationssynchrocyclotron
