The efficiency of the cyclotron can be hampered by the residual gas molecules

The efficiency of the cyclotron can be hampered by the residual gas molecules which reduce the strength of the streaming ions due to bombardments between the ions and gaseous molecules in the system. That weakens the intensity of the beam which has a strong correlation with pressure variations in the in the cyclotron (Sabaiduc, Du, Boiesan, Zhu, Suthanthiran, Johnson, Ladysmith, Gelbart & Conard, 5).

One most important benefit of the system is that it is projected to provide a beam of protons that can be used in MeV/amu machines which can be attained using a compact environment (Kim, Kwon and Lee, 4).
