Summary:

That gravitational effects can be important in the design and operation of particle accelerators is generally believed not to be true. It has been pointed out that the effect of gravitation on the trajectories of particles can, in certain cases, be compensated by suitably designed magnetic guide fields. Attention is directed to a first order effect in the theory of general relativity, whose consequences for some accelerators can be pronounced--leading, in iact, if no corrections are made to the present designs, to breakdown of predicted behavior.
