Momentum compaction is a concept primarily associated with particle accelerators, particularly synchrotrons and storage rings. It refers to the way in which the momentum of charged particles (like electrons or protons) is affected by the design and arrangement of the accelerator's components, such as bending magnets and other elements that influence the particle's path. In a particle accelerator, when charged particles travel along a curved path, their momentum changes due to the effects of the magnetic fields used to bend their trajectories.
