ALL meanings of betatron
be·ta·tron
B b - noun betatron a type of particle accelerator for producing high-energy beams of electrons, having an alternating magnetic field to keep the electrons in a circular orbit of fixed radius and accelerate them by magnetic induction. It produces energies of up to about 300 MeV 3
- noun betatron an electron accelerator which uses a rapidly changing magnetic field to accelerate the particles and maintain them in a focused circular path 3
- noun betatron an accelerator in which electrons are accelerated to high energies by an electric field produced by a changing magnetic field. 1
- noun betatron (physics) A form of cyclotron used to accelerate electrons to high speed. 0
