The facility's synchrotron is a massive, ring-shaped machine that accelerates subatomic particles almost to the speed of light, producing synchrotron radiation. 该设施的同步加速器是一个巨大的环形机器,可将亚原子粒子加速到几乎为光速,产生同步辐射。
The synchrotron was expected to generate light beams around 10,000 times more brilliant than existing sources.
