Title:     Eighty years of cyclotrons

Abstract: Lawrence's invention of the cyclotron in 1930 not only revolutionized 
nuclear physics, but proved the starting point for a whole variety of 
recirculating accelerators, from microtrons to FFAGs to synchrotrons, that 
have had an enormous impact in almost every branch of science and several 
areas of medicine and industry. Cyclotrons (i.e. fixed-field accelerators) 
themselves have proved remarkably adaptable, incorporating a variety of 
new ideas and technologies over the years: frequency modulation, edge 
focusing, AG focusing, axial and azimuthal injection, ring geometries, 
stripping extraction, superconducting magnets and rf.... Long may they 
flourish!

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
