Synchrophasotron

A synchrophasotron is a type of particle accelerator that is designed to accelerate charged particles, such as protons or ions, to high energies. It was developed in the mid-20th century and is particularly known for its ability to produce high-energy beams in a compact configuration. The synchrophasotron operates on the principles of synchrotron acceleration, where particles are accelerated in a circular path by a varying magnetic field that is synchronized with their increasing velocity.
