The operation of this instrument is based on the fact that the period of the motion of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field is independent of the velocity of the particle.
The operation of this instrument is based on the fact that the period of the motion of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field is independent of the velocity of the particle. The particles move in two semicircular metal containers known as dees, between which is maintained a potential difference. Each particle is accelerated across this gap by an electrical field, thereby gaining kinetic energy and moving in progressively larger orbits. FTP, identify this object, invented by E. O. Lawrence, important in creating transuranium elements.
