名詞

Pelletron (plural Pelletrons)

1. A type of electrostatic particle accelerator that builds a charge of high voltage using a charging chain of short conductive tubes called pellets connected by links made of insulating material, as opposed to using a belt or rectifier stack.
   • 1987, Eric R. Lindstrom, Louise S. Taylor, Proceedings of the 1987 IEEE Particle Accelerator Conference:

     An extremely important advantage of using a Pelletron driven FEL as a power source is its ability to synchronize the radiation of all the cavities by operating all the FEL's in a single cavity.

   • 1990, P. Marin, EPAC 90: 2nd European Particle Accelerator Conference, →ISBN:

     The Pelletron was manufactured by the National Electrostatics Corporation (NEC) and placed into routine operation in 1982.
