[edit] LHC
I removed a link to the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) costing billions of dollars from the economics section since the LHC is in fact not a synchrotron light source. -Mike Martin, ALS (Aug. 25, 2005)
Sychrotrons are not just the engines, that are synchrotron light sources. LHC is a synchrotron, and RHIC too.
[edit] Errors ID'd by Nature, to correct
The results of what exactly Nature suggested should be corrected is out... italicize each bullet point once you make the correction. -- user:zanimum
- Motivation for building the things in the first place - no mention of high energy particle physics, although synchrotron light sources are mentioned.
- electron acceleration power should be electron beam energy
[edit] Medical Imaging?
What type of medical imaging is Synchrotron light used for? Is this just another term to describe bremsstrahlung radiation?
