Synchrotron radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted when charged particles, such as electrons, are accelerated to near-light speeds and forced to travel along curved paths by strong magnetic fields. This radiation is produced in synchrotrons, which are particle accelerators specifically designed to generate and utilize this form of radiation.
