The Ultimate limit Newtonian physics predicts that it is very easy to get electrons up to and beyond the speed of light – but this is never observed No matter how hard you try you cannot exceed the speed of light

Magnetic Fields X is used to represent a field directed into the page Dots are used to represent a field directed out of the page
Synchrotron Radiation This is a problem as it wastes energy and the radiation can be dangerous. Particle accelerators are usually designed to minimise the amount of synchrotron radiation but there are exceptions e.g. Diamond Light
