Hi!
I'm interested in building a particle accelerator... maybe a linear accelerator or a cyclotron.
What do you suggest as a starting project? The linear accelerator or the cyclotron?
About the linear accelerator, is it suitable only for electrons? Is it possible to build a small (and affordable) linear accelerator capable of accelerating heavier charged particles?
And about the cyclotron... is it too expensive and complex as a first accelerator project? What would be the cost of a small cyclotron?
I'd like to contact other accelerator enthusiasts who could help me.
Thank you :)
