The term "current" in particle physics relates to the number of charged particles within an accelerator's beam and is expressed in "amperes." SLAC's SPEAR synchrotron at SSRL presently operates at a current of 100 milliamperes (one-tenth of an ampere), and the current must be topped off several times a day as the beam gradually loses electrons.
