n. (context physics English) A form of cyclotron in which charged particles are accelerated by an electric field that is synchronized with a magnetic field that keeps them in a circular path.

Usage examples of synchrotron.

Breakthroughs in X-ray lithography, using giant particle accelerators called synchrotrons, eventually made possible the imprinting of one billion circuits on a chip, with features as small as one-thousandth the width of a human hair.

As the pack of coursers swept toward the cities, the synchrotrons fired a battery of lasers.

By the time the virus was discovered, it had already spread from the watch-posts to the orbital synchrotrons, corrupting their defensive protocols, so that they failed to fire when the swan bursters entered the system.

Except in this file, defensive synchrotrons had mysteriously appeared, occupying lonely orbits in the outer system.

Here there were no orbital synchrotrons, and the destruction had been absolute.

The outer posts had failed to detect the approach of twin swan bursters, and then the orbital synchrotrons failed to respond.

Ship's power routed into a field generator that emitted a circularly polarized field of synchrotron radiation.

Human flesh couldn't stand many months in a stretch of the cosmic radiation that sleeted through these spaces, the synchrotron and betatron and Cerenkov quanta that boiled from particles hurled in the gas across the intertwining magnetism of atoms and suns.

Lightning, synchrotron effects, a hundred separate sources were putting forth radio energy yonder.

Think about it: some kind of technology that can produce synchrotron radiation where there isn't supposed to be any.

They glowed pink and an eerie blue, perhaps through the synchrotron radiation of accelerated electrons.

Nothing could convey the gut-wrenching pain of synchrotron radiation exposure.

During the time required, more hard synchrotron radiation would be generated by the passage of the vessel's own shielding fields, and leak through, than life can tolerate.
