Can we accelerate neutron by cyclotron? Give reason

Would we be able to speed up neutron by cyclotron?

ANSWER:

We can't speed up neutron by cyclotron.

Particle accelerator


ABOUT CYCLOTRON

The cyclotron was perhaps the earliest sort of particle accelerator and is as yet utilized as the primary phase of some huge multi-stage particle accelerators.Cyclotron comprises of two metallic empty chambers which are called Dees. An alternating voltage is applied between the two dees and furthermore a cross magnetic field is applied.


ABOUT NEUTRON
Neutron is a rudimentary molecule, which has no charge and its mass is somewhat more than the mass of a proton. Neutrons being unbiased, they are not repelled or drawn in by the core(nucleus) and the electrons of a molecule.


REASON

Cyclotron is a device used to speed up(accelerate) charged particles. Cyclotron chips away at the rule that a charged particle moving typical to a magnetic field encounters magnetic Lorentz force because of which the particle moves in a roundabout way and subsequently speeds up it.

Since a neutron is unbiased by charge so a cyclotron can't
 speed up it and because of the net no charge on a neutron it can't be 
so handily sped up by any strategy.
