Space charge in a cyclotron beam refers to which effect?
AHeating of the magnet coils
BLoss of vacuum in the chamber
CMutual repulsion of beam particles
DAttraction between particles and dees
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Mutual repulsion of beam particles
Like charges in the beam repel each other, and at high beam current this disrupts neighbouring orbits.
