What is another word for CALUTRON?
Pronunciation: [kˈalətɹˌɒn] (IPA) 
Calutron is a device used to separate isotopes of various elements. It was used in the Manhattan Project during World War II to develop nuclear weapons. Synonyms for the word Calutron include Mass Spectrometer, Isotope Separator, Electromagnetic Separator, and Cyclotron. These devices function similarly to calutrons by using electromagnetic fields to separate ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio. Mass Spectrometers are a common form of isotope separator in modern scientific research, essential in analyzing complex organic molecules, determining the composition of elements in samples, and identifying unknown substances. Cyclotrons and Electromagnetic Separators are used primarily in nuclear physics and the production of radioactive isotopes for medical applications.
