How amazing! So what kind of things do scientists use it to find out?

Hello everyone, I was driving through Oxfordshire at the weekend and spotted a rather amazing-looking building not far from Oxford. I did a bit of research and found out that it is the Diamond synchotron: http://www.harwelloxford.com/node/90. I was wondering if someone could explain to me what it's for? I don't have much of a brain for physics so the simpler the explanation, the better!! Thanks
