n. the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the accelerating charged particles in a synchrotron that are moving at near the speed of light
Wikipedia
The electromagnetic radiation emitted when charged particles are accelerated radially is called synchrotron radiation. It is produced, for example, in synchrotrons using bending magnets, undulators and/or wigglers. It is similar to cyclotron radiation except that synchrotron radiation is generated by the acceleration of ultrarelativistic charged particles through magnetic fields. Synchrotron radiation may be achieved artificially in synchrotrons or storage rings, or naturally by fast electrons moving through magnetic fields. The radiation produced in this way has a characteristic polarization and the frequencies generated can range over the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
Usage examples of "synchrotron radiation".
Ship's power routed into a field generator that emitted a circularly polarized field of synchrotron radiation.
Think about it: some kind of technology that can produce synchrotron radiation where there isn't supposed to be any.
Think about it: some kind of technology that can produce synchrotron radiation where there isn’.
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.
There is synchrotron radiation when the thing's operated at its lowest power setting, so the Qax think the coil around the butt is a miniature particle accelerator.
Thereupon this matter gave off synchrotron radiation, in thin beams with small dispersion, whose ardor equalled that of an entire Sol.
A rapidly spinning magnetic field emits radiation, known as synchrotron radiation, and it emits it in two narrow beams which point along the magnetic axis.

If this was the center of the Galaxy, as she suspected, it would be bathed in synchrotron radiation.
Kirk glanced over at Spock's science screens and saw that Sulu had put the deflector shields up at full power a second before dropping out of warp, so that the shields were dumping the built-up kinetic energy as a blinding storm of hard radiation, everything from high ultraviolet to X rays and synchrotron radiation.
Then a sudden crackle of static (courtesy of Skylla and Karybdis's rippling waves of synchrotron radiation) caused the very slim woman to jump.
