First Small Cyclotron Conference 2010

Welcome to the site of the inaugural Small Cyclotron Conference. Many enthusiasts of physics, engineering, and electronics have dreamed of building their own cyclotron, a type of compact particle accelerator. While many have had hopes of constructing one, only a handful have succeeded in achieving this goal by themselves on a limited budget. With the first annual Small Cyclotron Conference, they are getting together to share their experiences and ideas.
