Some Photos of the equipment at Florida Proton Beam

This is the gizmo that creates the proton.  Its called a Cyclotron

Cyclotron

Through a process called electrolysis, protons are taken from water and injected into the cyclotron (cylindrical structure at center), which accelerates protons to nearly the speed of light. The protons are guided through the beam line

Beam Line

The protons travel through the beam line, guided by electromagnets, into one of four treatment rooms
