storage ring

A storage ring is a circular device used in physics and engineering to keep charged particles, such as electrons or protons, moving in a continuous loop at high speeds. Advanced magnets guide and focus the particles along the ring’s path, while radiofrequency systems provide precise energy boosts to maintain their speed. Storage rings are vital for experiments like particle physics research and generating intense X-ray beams for scientific and medical applications. They enable long-term, stable circulation of particles, allowing scientists to study fundamental properties of matter or produce valuable radiation for various technologies.
