A storage ring is a type of circular particle accelerator in which a continuous or pulsed particle beam may be kept circulating for many hours. Storage of a particular particle depends upon the mass, energy and usually the charge of the particle to be stored. Storage rings most commonly store electrons, positrons, or protons. Storage rings are mos...

A circular (or near circular) structure in which either high energy and/or positrons, or protons and/or antiprotons can be circulated many times and thus "stored". Used to achieve high energy collisions. Because of the very different masses of protons and electrons a storage ring must be designed for on...
