6 0 m ▁to ▁build ▁which ▁covered ▁the ▁cost ▁of ▁the ▁syn ch ro tr on ▁building , ▁the ▁acceler ators ▁inside ▁it , ▁the ▁first ▁seven ▁experimental ▁stations ▁( be aml ines ) ▁and ▁the ▁adjacent ▁office ▁block , ▁Diam ond ▁House . ▁Const ruction ▁of ▁the ▁building ▁and ▁the ▁syn ch ro tr on ▁hall ▁was ▁by ▁Cost ain ▁Ltd . ▁ ▁Syn ch ro tr on ▁Diam ond ▁generates ▁syn ch ro tr on ▁light ▁at ▁w avel ength s ▁r anging ▁from ▁X - ray s ▁to ▁the ▁far ▁inf ra red . ▁This ▁is ▁also ▁known ▁as ▁syn ch ro tr on ▁radiation ▁and ▁is ▁the ▁elect romagnet ic ▁radiation ▁em itted ▁by ▁charged ▁particles ▁trav elling ▁near ▁the ▁speed ▁of ▁light . ▁It ▁is ▁used ▁in ▁a ▁huge ▁variety ▁of ▁experiments ▁to ▁study ▁the ▁structure ▁and ▁behaviour ▁of ▁many ▁different ▁types ▁of ▁matter . ▁ ▁The ▁particles ▁Diam ond ▁uses ▁are ▁electrons ▁trav elling ▁at ▁an ▁energy ▁of ▁ 3 ▁Ge V ▁ ▁round ▁a ▁ 5 6 1 . 6 ▁m ▁circum ference ▁storage ▁ring . ▁The ▁storage ▁ring ▁is ▁not ▁a ▁true ▁circle , ▁but ▁a ▁ 4 8 - s ided ▁polygon ▁of ▁straight ▁sections ▁ang led ▁with ▁b ending ▁magnet s ▁( d ip ole ▁magnet s ). ▁The ▁magnetic ▁pull ▁from ▁the ▁b ending ▁magnet s ▁that ▁ste ers ▁the ▁electrons ▁around ▁the ▁ring . ▁As ▁Diam ond ▁is ▁a ▁third ▁generation ▁light ▁source ▁it ▁uses ▁special ▁arrays ▁of ▁magnet s ▁called
