Cyclotron does not accelerate electron because mass of electron is very small. It gets accelerated very appreciably as a result of which its mass increases. It result is mismatch between frequency of $a.c.$ used and frequency of rotation of electron in the Dee’s. So cyclotron stops accelerating electrons after some time.
