A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator that is used to accelerate charged particles, such as protons or ions, to high speeds. It is a circular device that uses a strong magnetic field and a high-frequency alternating electric field to accelerate the particles. The particles are accelerated by the electric field in a cyclical motion, hence the name "cyclotron".
