Sentences with phrase «proton cyclotron»

Not exact matches

In his earlier work at Berkeley, he gained intimate knowledge of the behavior of protons, using the cyclotron to measure their penetration into various materials.

In a 1946 paper in the journal Radiology, Wilson proposed that contemporary cyclotrons had almost become capable of energizing protons that could tackle deep - seated cancers.

Hydrogen gas is injected into the cyclotron, where static electricity separates protons from hydrogen molecules.

These souped - up protons would then be injected into a second, larger cyclotron, 15 meters across, which would accelerate them further still.

In this plan, near - stationary protons would be dumped in the center of a small cyclotron and accelerated by magnetic fields in spirals until they reached the cyclotron's outer edge.

The cyclotrons could not match the proton energies of Fermilab's proton accelerators, but, partly by operating at a higher power, they would generate a comparable number of antineutrinos per second, and so produce a similar amount of data.

In this project — «PROBE: PROton Beam Extension for Imaging and Therapy» project — a prototype will be built of a novel high - frequency linac that can boost the energy of protons from the 250 Mega-electron volts (MeV) available from conventional medical cyclotrons to 350 MeV, sufficient for imaging all patients.

After ruling out all other possibilities, they figured out that the dip was from a phenomenon called cyclotron resonance scattering, which occurs when charged particles — either positively charged protons or negatively charged electrons — circle around in a magnetic field.

«If the cyclotron line is from protons, then we know that these magnetic fields around the neutron star are extremely strong and may in fact be helping to breaking the Eddington limit,» says Brightman.

Cyclotron resonance scattering creates telltale signatures in a star's spectrum of light and the presence of these patterns, called cyclotron lines, can provide information about the strength of the star's magnetic field — but only if the cause of the lines, whether it be protons or electrons, Cyclotron resonance scattering creates telltale signatures in a star's spectrum of light and the presence of these patterns, called cyclotron lines, can provide information about the strength of the star's magnetic field — but only if the cause of the lines, whether it be protons or electrons, cyclotron lines, can provide information about the strength of the star's magnetic field — but only if the cause of the lines, whether it be protons or electrons, is known.

As Maxwell explains in the video, the original proton pack consists of a cyclotron, which is composed of two electrodes that induce the particle to spiral outwards from the center, accelerated by a rapidly varying electric field.
