What is a cyclotron, the physics behind its working and why.
This video discusses the working of the cyclotron, the physics principles - the use of electric and magnetic fields to speed up charged particles - and uses the example of ANSTO National Research Cyclotron in Sydney in Australia.

Awesome explanation with formulas. Clear and easy to follow. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this explanation I am a undergraduate plant science major working in a research reactor. Since radioactive isotopes are not my specialty I have to go to KZread a lot of the time to fill myself in. So far I’ve only worked with C11 but I might work with some Mn isotopes in the future! This explanation really helps me understand what our physics specialist is talking about :).

I want to work in a hospital where they used a cyclotron to make radioisotopes. The job is called "Cyclotron operator" but i have no experience with the machine, i know how it works but only with the theory and i dont know what to do cause i really want the Job but i dont know where star to get it, i am chemical engineer

I thought it was really wholesome how excited he seemed to be at the first particle accelerator
Hey thanks sir .
do other particles become present inside the accelerator and go in shorter or longer spurts than the particle it's accelerating while the particle accelerator is working and going? can it accelerate 2 particles of the same type and or separate types to see how the interact?
Thank you for your video, very insightful. What if the velocity approached the speed of light? Wouldn't the mass change due to relativistic kinetics, in which case would this then affect the calculations for the angular velocity?

You are correct . Many cyclotrons are sub relativistic. More a challenge to make one to get to relativistic speeds. That’s one of the reasons for the synchrotron invention.
Question. I paused at 5:21 to ask. What is the time component in each revolution of the proton, measuring from its' tightest revolution to the outer most as the proton travels, each circumference? I suspect that the time involved is very much the same if not identical. I have often pondered "How is it that the innermost second hand dial on a conventional clock is the same time measured from its' outer most circumference compared to the inner most distance traveled and yet the same time."
Awesome
7:52 - 18 MeV. LHC: It's so cuuuuuuute!! 😍😍😍
I just learnt this
Great video! I am wondering what is the limit for how many particles can be accelerated per one cycle at once? Also, can't we replace the heavy electromagnets with neodymium magnets - similar magnetic field, but the cyclotron is much lighter?

Neodymium magnets cannot withstand the heat , that's why electromagnets are used.
What switches the polarity that fast?
What type of material are the two semicircles made of ??
Couple questions. 1. What is the mechanism and tech of initially injecting the Hydrogen ions? does it just enter in a hole in the gap between the "dees" ? 2. how does this electron 'stripper' work? where do all the electrons that were "stripped' go? is there a secondary use you can use for this collection? 3. i assume same process could be used for anti protons, although polarities would have to be switched accordingly i assume... 4. the 18MEV mentioned, is that based on some prior acceleration into the unit? or is that a slow moving proton? 5. have there been any open source projects to work with platforms like pi, arduino, etc. to build these DIY to get all the math right?
Brings memories of the cyclotron in Stuyvesant Highschool NYC in 1965.
Hei hipi.. Why you make voltage as as V(velocity) it should be U or E.. (U =12v)? Is that some standard in kwak kwak and Australia?
Could not the speed of movement also be able to store energy via electrostatic energy? As in Faraday's or Van de Graaff machine ...
I'm confused, Why did you re-arrange the formula at 4:28 ?
since the metals dees have an opening (otherwise how would the protons enter?), doesn't that mean electric field can be inside the dees? metals will block electric fields if they are a closed surface but here the metal dees are open
At 11:40 Are you saying that you use nomenclature to produce FDGs'?

Physics and chemistry are fun. We made a little oil refinery by melting coal in a test tube. Only a small part of it consisted of petrol, and a lot of benzine in comparison. If we find an alternative to combustion engines we are still going to be mining oil, so what do we do with all that petrol? The minds that watch this and maintain an interest in it will be aware by now of approaching energy crisis, and being young they are going to have the problem dumped on them, possibly in their life time.
at 8:32 you say the protons energy is 18 MeV. I thought a proton has 938 MeV. (about 100 X its 3 quarks, 9.4 MeV.) so, what's up with that?

These machines-the cyclotrons-and the science behind them are a testament to the awesome power of the human mind. I believe that the future holds great promise for us-provided we get climate change under control-something which can be done with the technology already available, but that politics is blocking hand that we don't destroy ourselves in our technological "adolescence".
7:51 Does this mean that the strength of the magnetic field in the cyclotron is also 18 MeV?
@PhysicsHigh
7 ай бұрын
The magnetic field strength of the cyclotron is measured in Tesla. And it is different to the 18 MeV. That number refers to the energy of the protons as they exit the cyclotron.
the frequency of the charge is not the same one of the polarity change, the polarity change is T/2 and since T= (2 pi x m)/ (B x q) the polarity frequency is pi x m / Bq.
Neat! Too bad there was no KZread in the late 1950’s and following. I could have used this vid and the other about the synchrotron to explain “what my Daddy does at work!”

at about 9:50 into the video the picture of the cyclotron is shown mirrored. that‘s incorrect, the B-field has to be flipped, or the force is in the wrong direction

So are we the ones who change the polarity?
Particle accelerators operate kind of like shooting bullets at a car and try to identify where the pieces blown of the car belong.
But where do they get the particals to begin with.. not like a grain of sand we can just grab and drop in particle accelerator
HA niceee!!!
Wouldnt it escape perpendicular to the tangent, and not tangentially?

why is the velocity increasing?

I thought I explained that. Every time it travels a half circle it gets a boost by the voltage in the gap. The voltage gives it energy and this kinetic so faster.

Those work with a series of resonant chambers. ‘Magnetron’
What is the MAGNETRONE, and how does it make the RADIO-HYPNOSIS? Look at, this is the radio-electronic TUBE, that has the circular roots on its walls, as like tube and as like semi-circular tube-like roots in it's walls that make the MAGNETRONE tube inside as like revolver drum. Therefore, the electrons are flying from cathode to anode under the electro-magnetic field, and by the wall roots it got speed boost as like little permanent magnits attracting them and making twisting as like tornado. That electrons tornado got speedy flying by the anode into square mirrored vawe-conduit that is the Over High Frequency that the radars emitting and by the difference of the time electrons flying till the sea object and returned back - they judge about distance from that object between radar and the object on the sea. Therefore, if they make the opens and closed MAGNETRONE tube with the human voice current, the MAGNETRONE will vibrate the air molecules as like as the speaker. So, the texts of the psychological expressions got formed in the computer and combined into packets that got emitted from the sea radar - and .. the humans got HYPNOTIZED - the human behavior may be programmed into future default on the PROMPT, when is not enough the information and the DOMINANCE of the behavior is the RADIO-HYPNOSIS text inserted into brain into deep memory of the Human. Therefore, the RADIO-hypnosis is the criminal attempt to conduct by the human behaviors.

" ...... Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back. .... "
So nearly 20% the speed of light. Not to bad to go to Mars with.

I see, your using magnetic field density to compress and decompress matter until you reach the magnitude to make your element. This is also known as compressions and refractions. Lets turn and burn!
