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.
