plural Pelletrons

1. A type of electrostatic particle accelerator that builds a charge of high voltage using a charging chain of short conductive tubes called pellets connected by links made of insulating material, as opposed to using a belt or rectifier stack.

   To further increase the beam energy of Pelletron, a superconducting linear accelerator (LINAC) is being set up.
