Definition of synchrotron in English:
synchrotron
noun ˈsɪŋkrə(ʊ)trɒnˈsɪŋkrəˌtrɑn
Physics A cyclotron in which the magnetic field strength increases with the energy of the particles to keep their orbital radius constant.
Example sentencesExamples
- Scientific instruments such as telescopes, synchrotrons, and electron microscopes generate raw data streams that are archived for subsequent batch processing.
- An experimentalist, he worked with synchrotrons to study the weak nuclear force and the structure of nuclear particles.
- For example, synchrotrons, cyclotrons, linear accelerators and interplanetary spacecraft all cost too much for single investigators.
- The most powerful synchrotrons now in operation can produce particles with energies of at least 400 GeV.
- His work space is located in what is known on campus as the Synchrotron Laboratory, because a synchrotron - a type of particle accelerator - was once located in the vast cavernous room.
