Pelletron

English thumb|right|The 2.5 MeV Pelletron accelerator SIRIUS at the École polytechnique. Etymology Registered trademark of the National Electrostatics Corporation (and later the Pelletron Corporation), from en pellet tron, for the pellets in the charging chain. Pronunciation en /ˈpɛl.ɪˌtɹɒn/ RP en /ˈpɛl.ɪˌtɹɑn/ GA Noun 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. en 1987 Proceedings of the 1987 IEEE Particle Accelerator Conference Eric R. Lindstrom; Louise S. Taylor 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. en 1990 EPAC 90: 2nd European Particle Accelerator Conference P. Marin 2863320904 The Pelletron was manufactured by the National Electrostatics Corporation (NEC) and placed into routine operation in 1982. en 2015 INDIA 2015 8123020066 To further increase the beam energy of Pelletron, a superconducting linear accelerator (LINAC) is being set up.
