Abstract
BECAUSE of the theoretical interest in the study of the collisions between nucleons, all the large heavy-particle synchrotrons at present operating have been designed to accelerate protons1. In many of these machines, however, the frequency of the accelerating voltage can be pre-set to follow any suitable law of variation with magnetic field. There is nothing then to prevent the acceleration to an appropriate energy of particles with an e/m different from that of the proton providing that they can be injected.
