 A small storage ring at SLAC. This particlular storage ring is one of the two small storage rings or circular cyclotron. The section is located in the begining of the machine and is called the south Damping ring used to damp the beams down to suitable dimensions. A storage ring consists of a ring of circumference in which a particle beam or charged particles on a beamline from a particle accelerator can be kept circulating almost indefinitely. Storage of a particular particle is based on weight mass of that particle being stored. There are some particles that are heavier than others requiring more energy for storage.

Hence, A storage ring is a synchrotron. A synchrotron is a particular type of cyclic particle accelerator in which the magnetic field (to turn the particles so they circulate) and the electric field (to accelerate the particles) are carefully synchronized with the travelling particle beam. ...
Criteria for Storage of a particle beam Most common conditions for storage of a particle beam are:
Magnets High current, low voltage Focusing magnets and/ or bending magnets must be standardized by premapping parameters of the magnet/magnetic fields, using computer algorithms for position, and focusing achromats. For a synchrotron, the magnets are sequenced according to the Chasman-Green lattice. Quadrapoles are designed to create magnetic fields whose magnitude grows linearly with the radial distance from its longitudinal axis, which is usually centered around and parallel to the main motion of the charged particles. ...

Timing Time is important, time of storage of beam, and the release is important.
Typically there are huge magnets in a storage ring to kick a beam into the ring called Injection kicker magnets and to kick a beam out of the ring called, Extraction kicker magnets. At the junction in a storage ring where the beampipe sections off or comes in, and meets with the ring is called the septum, hence there are two septums to one storage ring.
An accumulator ring is slightly different than a storage ring.
