Abstract

A synchrotron having at least two sets of super-conducting coils, each arranged for deflecting charged particles in a curved path. The sets of superconducting coils are spaced to provide at least one straight portion of the path for the particles. A transformer device is located along the straight portion of the path for accelerating the particles to operating energy. At least one coil has its main go and return arms curved to lie substantially parallel to the required curved path and at least one coil has only its main go arm curved to lie substantially parallel to the path.
