Harvard Cyclotron Laboratory, Los Alamos

The Harvard Cyclotron Laboratory (HCL) operated from 1949 to 2002. It was most notable for its contributions to the development of proton therapy. The Harvard Cyclotron Laboratory was built with office of Naval Research funds between 1946 and 1949 to replace an earlier, lower energy, cyclotron that was sent to Los Alamos for use in the Manhattan Project. A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator in which charged particles accelerate outwards from the center along a spiral path. The particles are held to a spiral trajectory by a static magnetic field and accelerated by a rapidly varying (radio frequency) electric field.
