The Nuclotron is a particle accelerator located at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, Russia. It is a types of synchrotron that accelerates heavy ions and protons to high energies, primarily for research in nuclear physics, particle physics, and related fields. The Nuclotron employs a unique design known as a "fast cycling" synchrotron, which allows it to rapidly accelerate particles within a strong magnetic field.
