Multiple Choice

Which is NOT one of the differences between a cyclotron and a synchrotron?

• A)Orbits in a cyclotron are spirals, while in a synchrotron they are circles
• B)Conventional cyclotrons fail above energies of about 50 MeV because the proton speeds get too close to the speed of light, while synchrotrons are designed to accommodate all proton energies
• C)Large cyclotrons would require extremely large magnets, since they must cover all possible orbital radii, while synchrotrons only need a thin ring
• D)In general, synchrotrons are much smaller than cyclotrons
• E)Both cyclotrons and synchrotrons require electrical oscillators to accelerate the protons
