Zero Gradient Synchrotron

Zero Gradient Synchrotron (ZGS) is a type of particle accelerator that was used primarily for accelerating protons. One of the key characteristics of a ZGS is that it employs a magnetic field configuration that maintains a constant gradient of magnetic field across the accelerator’s circumference, which means that the magnetic field does not change (or has a "zero gradient") as the particles are accelerated through the machine.
