Radiation from Electrons in a Synchrotron

Radiation characteristics of extreme UV and soft X-ray sources

“…Also synchrotrons, initially intended as particle colliders, emit radiation in a broad spectral range (from hard x-rays to the IR). The mechanism is based on the radial acceleration of charged relativistic particles which is caused by bending magnets [32]. The second generation of synchrotron light sources increased the photon yield by the wiggler which forces the particles to follow sinusoidal trajectories.…”

Radiação de Síncrotron no Brasil UVX e Sirius

“…Eles consistem em uma sucessão de ímãs que são usados para desviar os elétrons que viajam em uma câmara de vácuo ultra alto. A radiação síncrotron foi observada pela primeira vez no General Electric Laboratory em um pequeno síncrotron de 70 MeV por Elder et al (2). Objetos astronômicos também geram RS quando elétrons relativistas mudam de velocidade em campos magnéticos.…”

Atomic and Molecular Physics Using Synchrotron Radiation – the Early Years

“…The first tasks were to build a Garton flash tube, to focus a new normalincidence 1 m McPherson monochromator and to learn about the characteristics of synchrotron radiation. It appeared that the theory of synchrotron radiation was well developed (see Codling & Madden, 1965a, and references therein), and that the radiation was first observed by Elder, Gurewitsch, Langmuir & Pollock (1947).…”
