Blosser, H. G.

The principles of operation of the sector-focused cyclotrons, along with major design problems and the progress made in recent studies of this device, are discussed. The fundamental contradiction between the requirements for focusing and for constant-frequency acceleration in the care of magnetic fields with axial symmetry was solved by Thomas. He proposed a magnetic field which varied with azimuth in such a manner that additional focusing forces were derived from the azimuthal variations. University of California model studies, the phenomena of focusing oscillation resonances, ORNL model studies, and a design proposal for a high-energy sector-focused cyclotron are discussed. The major features of a proposed Michigan State University cyclotron are reviewed. (M.C.G.)
