1. In a synchrotron for accelerating charged particles on a trajectory, which synchrotron comprises:

  • (a) straight track portions including associated means for particle injection and acceleration;

    (b) curved track sections including superconducting, vertically spaced, curved dipole magnets arranged in a cryogenic vessel about said trajectory, and;

    (c) the trajectory of said curved track sections being surrounded by a chamber including at least one exit opening for tangential radiation emission,an improvement wherein;

    (d) an absorber is arranged in each of said chambers of the curved track sections and conformed about the outer most curved portion of said trajectory;

    (e) said absorber including at least one exit opening for passage of said tangential radiation emission;

    (f) each of said chambers being provided with at least one radiation tube for said tangential radiation emission, which radiation is emitted through said exit opening of said absorber; and

    (g) in each of said chambers, respective support structures being provided behind said absorber and in the vertical space between said dipole magnets to maintain the vertical spacing therebetween.
