==Superconducting cyclotron examples== A '''superconducting cyclotron''' uses [[superconducting magnets]] to achieve high magnetic field in a small diameter and with lower power requirements. These cyclotrons require a [[cryostat]] to house the magnet and cool it to superconducting temperatures. Some of these cyclotrons are being built for medical therapy.<ref name="craddock">{{cite conference |last=Craddock |first=M.K. |date=September 10, 2010 |title=Eighty Years of Cyclotrons |url=http://accelconf.web.cern.ch/Cyclotrons2010/papers/mom1cio02.pdf |access-date=January 24, 2022 |book-title=Proceedings of Cyclotrons 2010 |place=Lanzhou, China}}</ref>{{rp|6}} {| class="wikitable sortable plainrowheaders" |- ! scope="col" | {{Abbr|Name|Institution and Name}} ! scope="col" | Country ! scope="col" | Date ! scope="col" | {{Abbr|Energy|Maximum energy}} ! scope="col" | {{Abbr|Beam|Beam type}} ! scope="col" | Diameter ! scope="col" | In use? ! scope="col" | {{Abbr|Ref|Reference}} |- ! scope="row" | [[Michigan State University]] K500 | {{flagicon|USA}}United States | 1982 | 500 MeV/u | Heavy Ion | {{convert|52|in|cm|sortable=on}} | {{Yes}}<ref name="MSUrefurb"/> | <ref name="Blosser-2004"/><ref name="MSUrefurb"/> |- ! scope="row" | [[Texas_A%26M_University|Texas A&M University]] Cyclotron Institute K500 | {{flagicon|USA}}United States | 1987 | 70 MeV (protons), 15 MeV/u | Protons, Heavy Ions | {{convert|1.15|m|in|sortable=on}} | {{Yes}} | <ref>{{cite web |title=K500 Superconducting Cyclotron |url=https://cyclotron.tamu.edu/facilities/k500/|website=Cyclotron Institute|access-date=3 October 2024 |date=30 September 2019}}</ref> |- ! scope="row" | {{interlanguage link|Laboratori nazionali del Sud|it}} K800 | {{flagicon|Italy}}Italy | 1994 | 80 MeV | Protons, Heavy ions | {{convert|0.9|m|in|sortable=on}} | {{yes}} | <ref>{{cite web |title=Laboratori Nazionali del Sud |url=https://www.lns.infn.it/en/accelerators/superconducting-cyclotron.html |access-date=2 October 2024}}</ref> |- ! scope="row" | [[University Medical Center Groningen]] AGOR | {{flagicon|Netherlands}}Netherlands | 1996 | 120-190 MeV (protons), 30-90 MeV/u (Heavy Ions) | Protons, Light ions, Heavy ions | {{convert|3.2|m|in|sortable=on}} | {{yes}} | <ref>{{cite web |last1=Berens |first1=Astrid |title=AGOR, the Netherlands |url=https://www.ionbeamcenters.eu/ion-beam-facilities/agor-the-netherlands/ |website=IonBeamCenters.eu |access-date=4 October 2024 |date=22 October 2019}}</ref> |- ! scope="row" | [[Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre]] K500 | {{flagicon|India}}India | 2009 | 80 MeV/u (Light Ions), 5-10 MeV/u (Heavy Ions)<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Rana |first1=T.
