[edit] Cyclotrons, synchrotrons

I think that cyclotrons (synchrocyclotrons and izochorn cyclotrons = alternating gradient cyclotrons) are in use and developed at the field of nuclear physics. And this type of cyclotrons are not early types of accelerators. Oh I see that in particle physics.

Synchrotrons: you mean weak focusing synchrotrons. I think colliders and storage rings are synchrotrons too?

I suggest the category: Direct Current accelerators. I don't know the exact english phrase, but Cocroft-Walton and van de Graaff belongs to it. It could be the first.

And betatrons shloud be there. -- Harp 15:10, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Lawrence Hall of Science museum , next to LBNL, has exhibit of Lawrence. THe first cyclotron that worked was 5 inches, not 9; on display. --GangofOne 05:02, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
