A storage ring is a special type of synchrotron in which the kinetic energy of the particles is kept constant.
A synchrotron light source is a combination of different accelerator types, including a storage ring with beamlines and usually a synchrotron (which is sometimes called booster in this context). Synchrotron light sources in their entirety are sometimes called "synchrotrons", although this is technically incorrect.
A cyclic collider is also a combination of different accelerator types, including two intersecting storage rings and the respective pre-accelerators.
