= Alternating Gradient Synchrotron
{wiki=Alternating_Gradient_Synchrotron}
The Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) is a type of particle accelerator designed to accelerate charged particles, such as protons or heavy ions, to high energies. The AGS utilizes a technique known as alternating gradient focusing, which allows for a more compact and efficient design compared to earlier synchrotron models. \#\#\# Key Features of the AGS: 1. **Alternating Gradient Focusing:** The fundamental principle of the AGS is the use of magnetic fields that alternate in polarity.
