∙ 11y agoThere are about 150 to 200 cylotrons in the world. About 35 of these are operated by radiopharmaceutical companies and are used solely for the production of medical radioisotopes. Another 25 are used in part for radioisotope production. However, most of the above cyclotrons are not of sufficient power to produce large quantities of Iodine 123, which is the focus of Quasar Group's main initiative and to solve a severe shortage in the United States and to a lesser extent in Europe. The type of cyclotron that is needed for this project are 30 MeV (million electron volts) that can produce large quantities of Iodine 123 utilizing Xe 124 gas target systems. This method produces an extremely high purity product and is the most easily managed compared to lower energy production methods utilizing Te 123 solid targets.

What is the uses of an electromagnet?
There are many uses for an Electromagnet. The first thing that comes to my mind is the old movies at the car demolition sites were you see that huge Electromagnet pick up the car of the assailant, or the hero in some cases, and put them in the compactor or shredder.Electromagnets are also used in electronic lock applications, and also in particle accelerators.
The area of particle 1 is 2.5 mm square The area of particle 2 is 0.5 mm square The area of particle 1 is how many times as big as the area of particle 2?
25
When uranium (92 proton) ejects an beta particle how many protons does the remaining nucleus have?
90 protons
How do you build a Tesla particle beam?
A particle beam weapon uses an ultra high energy beam of atoms or electrons to damage a material target by hitting it, and thus disrupting its atomic and molecular structure. particle beam weapons are still in the early stages of development. Nikola Tesla published the first technical description of a charged particle beam in 1937 in an attempt to provide a superweapon that would put an end to all war, but he was never able to act on his plans. The main impetus for its development in recent years was the "Star Wars" defense program of the 1980s, which has since passed away, so the future of the device is somewhat in question. That's not to say that particle beams aren't in use - particle accelerators and prototype magnetic confinement fusion reactors use them all the time. There just aren't many military applications for them at the moment (outside of science fiction and computer games, that is.) Still, a certain amount of research into weaponized particle beams has been conducted, and may continue for some time. Particle beam weapons work by accelerating a stream of atoms or subatomic particles to near-relativistic velocities and projecting them in a beam. Both electrons and protons can be used to form this beam, and would be the choice for a weapon to be used within an atmosphere. Hydrogen atoms are the preferred choice for an extra-atmospheric weapon - they have a neutral charge, and thus the beam wouldn't be deflected by the earth's magnetic field, or scattered by the mutual repulsion exhibited by charged particles. Any type of particle beam would transfer a large amount of energy from the beam to any object struck by it, resulting in damage from the swift temperature increase and possibly an explosion. Think of the effects of a lightning bolt - which is essentially a charged particle beam - and you'll get some idea of how destructive such a weapon could be.
When a Uranium 238 emits an alpha particle the nucleus left behind has how many protons?
90 protons left
What can you do with electromagnets?
Many things. Particle accelerators, Rail Guns, motors, generators and MAGLEV trains.
How many particle accelerators in the world with location and laboratory names?
Thousands ! Particle accelerators are now produced on an industrial scale, and used in hospitals for anti-cancer radiation treatment. Here are two, to get you started: 1). Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory; Batavia, IL, USA 2). Large Hadron Collider; Geneva, Switzerland
How many elements are discover now?
There are 119 currently known elements. 98 of them occur naturally, with the remainder created in particle accelerators or during nuclear reactions.
What is electromagnets used in?
Electromagnetism is used in electric motors, computer hard drives (and other magnetic storage media), junkyard electromagnets, televisions, particle accelerators, MRIs, and many other devices.
How many currently elements?
There are 92 elements that exist in nature*. Every heavier element has decayed before our time. Of course, there are more elements in the periodic table, but they are all synthetic elements-they were made in a laboratory. Theoretically, there is no limit on how heavy an element could become-you can always add a proton to the nucleus. However these synthetic elements exist only for a fraction of a second and only in particle accelerators. There are currently 115 known elements.
How many nuclear research institutes are in Mexico?
There is only one, which is part of the Mexican Energy Secretariat. It is located on the outskirts of Mexico City. It has several laboratories, including a research nuclear reactor and four particle accelerators.

What would happen if tychions exist?
we would have to rewrite the standard model of particle physics. we've done it before. many times.
Are there new elements?
Yes. However they are made in labs using particle accelerators. some which haven't yet been proven on more than one occasion to exist have Latin names such as element 110 Ununnillium. It is hard to prove their existence as even the most stable isotope many only last a couple of seconds before it disintegrates. However many elements are synthetic and created by humans.
How many neutrons are in the above particle?
You will have to tell us what the particle is, but if it is an alpha particle, there are two neutrons in it.
Is time bending theoretically possible?
Of course. Einstein established that it is theoretically possible. But it is more than theoretically possible. It has been confirmed in particle accelerators many times. Particles that have a known life are observed to have extended lives when accelerated to relativistic velocities, and the extended lives are equal to what would be predicted from Einstein's formulas.
