What are the Challenges Associated with Compact Synchrotrons?
Despite their advantages, compact synchrotrons face several challenges:
Technical Complexity: Designing and maintaining these advanced instruments require sophisticated technology and expertise. Energy Constraints: Achieving high-energy beams in a compact form factor is challenging and may limit the range of applications compared to larger synchrotrons. Operational Costs: While more cost-effective than traditional synchrotrons, compact versions still require significant investment in terms of construction, operation, and maintenance.
