A storage ring is a type of circular particle accelerator in which a continuous or pulsed particle beam may be kept circulating, typically for many hours. Storage of a particular particle depends upon

Different types of magnets used in the storage ring of the Australian Synchrotron. The larger yellow one is a dipole magnet used to bend the electron beam and produce the synchrotron radiation. The green one is a sextupole magnet and the red one (behind the dipole) is a quadrupole magnet; these are used for focusing and to maintain chromaticity respectively.

Gerard Kitchen O'Neill was an American physicist and space activist. As a faculty member of Princeton University, he invented a device called the particle storage ring for high-energy physics experime
Storage ring
…particles stored at a constant energy and radio-frequency cavities are only used to replace energy lost through synchrotron radiation and other processes. Gerard K. O'Neill proposed the use of storage rings as building blocks for a collider in 1956. A key benefit of storage rings in this context is that the storage ring…
