cy|clo|tron

cy|clo|tron
cy|clo|tron «SY kluh tron, SIHK luh-», noun.
1. a particle accelerator that greatly increases the speed and energy of protons and other atomic particles; atom smasher. An alternating electric field in a constant magnetic field accelerates the particles in a spiral path away from their sources and causes the particles to collide with nuclei at very high velocities, and break up atoms and cause radioactivity.
2. an apparatus for developing large beam currents by passing positive ions through repeated accelerating potentials.
╂[< cyclo- + -tron, as in electron]
