The microtron is a type of cyclotron that can accelerate light, relativistic particles such as Mev electrons. The relativistic variation of mass changes the cyclotron frequency of the electron for a given value H of the magnetic field, and this change is corrected for by varying the driving frequency of the electric field, the strength of H, or both simultaneously. Only one accelerating gap is employed. It is a resonance cavity through which the electron trajectory always passes. These machines were built to accelerate electrons to 29 Mev, while no fundamental difficulties stand in the way of raising this value to 100 Mev. In conjunction with a linear accelerator, these machines should be able to accelerate electrons and protons to Bev energies. Several authors have proposed this type of accelerator. In this review, a complete list of all but the past review articles is given. The basic principles of microtron operation, the theoretical foundations, the construction of the magnet, the vacuum system, the resonance cavity and high frequency system, the extraction mechanism, and phase stability are discussed.
