synchrotron


  • n  cyclotron in which the electric field is maintained at a constant frequency

  • The physicist got that equipment in 1960 with the successful operation of a great proton synchrotron at Brookhaven, Long Island, which generated 30 billion electron volts at its .
  • One casualty is the Princeton-Pennsylvania proton synchrotron on the Princeton campus, which is used for basic particle research by 14 universities.
  • Given that the synchrotron has a life span of around 30 years, there's plenty of time, then, for a lot of light and hopefully a great deal of illumination.

  • Elevated levels of copper in amyloid plaques associated with neurodegeneration in mouse models of AD
    ( IOS Press ) In a new study investigators used synchrotron x-ray fluorescence microscopy to image metal ions in the brain, focusing on the amyloid plaques that are the hallmark of AD. They found that, in two AD mouse models that exhibit neurodegeneration, the plaques contained about 25 percent more copper than an AD mouse model that shows little neurodegeneration. They also suggest that iron ...
