Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. A cyclotron is an instrument used to accelerate particles and ions that are already charged. It is a circular machine that is run by oscillating voltage. A static field and electric field are also provided to the machine, which helps to boost the energy of the particles.
Detailed explanation-2: -Both electric and magnetic fields are used in the cyclotron to increase the energy of the charged particles. As both the fields are perpendicular to each other, they are called cross fields. In a cyclotron, charged particles accelerate outwards from the centre along a spiral path.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Large Hadron Collider is the most powerful accelerator in the world. It boosts particles, such as protons, which form all the matter we know. Accelerated to a speed close to that of light, they collide with other protons. These collisions produce massive particles, such as the Higgs boson or the top quark.
