Description
Due to its simplicity the classical cyclotron has been used very early for applications in science, medicine and industry. Higher energies and intensities were achieved through the concepts of the sector focused isochronous cyclotron and the synchro-cyclotron. Several properties, such as CW operation, make the cyclotron concept suitable for the acceleration of hadron beams with high average intensity. Relativistic effects limit the energies in reach to approximately 1GeV.
