cyclotron

Element 43 was "made" for the first time as a result of bombarding molybdenum with deuterons in the Berkeley cyclotron.

Finally they strike a target inserted into their path or are extracted from the cyclotron for use as an external beam.

The number of revolutions that an ion can make in a conventional cyclotron is limited to about 70 to 100.

Before attempting to discuss this principle, we should first review the operation of a conventional cyclotron.

Ions above the midplane of the cyclotron are directed downward; those below the midplane are directed upward.
