Electron synchrotron

If the object of a synchrotron is to accelerate electrons to the highest possible energy, synchrotron radiation is a serious obstacle that limits the energy attainable. On the other hand, the electromagnetic radiation from a synchrotron can be useful for experiments on the properties of solids and for other purposes. For tins reason, some electron synchrotrons are built primarily for the synchrotron radiation they emit.

Figure 12.8 Schematic plan of a synchrotron. The storage ring at Daresbury is 96 m in diameter, and contains a 250 mA current of 2 GeV electrons. Synchrotron radiation is emitted as a result of acceleration of the beam at each of the 16 magnets, and is tapped off and fed to a number of experimental stations, each of which is equipped to carry out a particular set of experiments.

Electron synchrotrons or storage rings use magnetic fields to bend the electrons onto a closed orbit. SR is produced at each of these bending magnets. The emitted... 

The other type of x-ray source is an electron synchrotron, which produces an extremely intense, highly polarized and, in the direction perpendicular to the plane of polarization, highly collimated beam. The energy spectrum is continuous up to a maximum that depends on the energy of the accelerated electrons, so that x-rays for diffraction experiments must either be reflected from a monochromator crystal or used in the Laue mode. Whereas diffraction instmments using vacuum tubes as the source are available in many institutions worldwide, there are synchrotron x-ray facilities only in a few major research institutions. There are synchrotron facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan.

Electrons. The circular electron synchrotrons and betatrons have been used more for the X-rays they produce rather than for studies of the interaction of electrons with nuclei. Experiments with electrons have been more conveniently performed at machines with straight sections (e.g. University of Michigan racetrack) or with linear accelerators.

AT-Ray Sources.—Rosenbaum et al " have described some preliminary results using synchrotron radiation as a source particularly for AT-ray diffraction of fibres. They have used the 7.5 GeV electron synchrotron Deutsches Hektro-nen-Ssmchroten in Hamburg. Calculations show that the spectral luminance...

The maximum of the intensity distribution is close to A. . The characteristic wavelength for typical, large machines is around 1 nm. It is possible to express the distribution of any electron synchrotron radiation in normalized intensity units using the characteristic wavelength as the wavelength unit. The universal distribution function is shown in Fig.6.11.

Research using SR started at the beginning of the 1960s with pioneering experiments using electron synchrotrons both at Frascati (1.1 GeV aeeelerator) in Europe and at the National Bureau of Standards in the USA (180 MeV accelerator) at low energies, i.e. in the soft X-rays and VUV (vacuum ultraviolet) domains. 

The advances in X-ray spectroscopy are related to the development of X-ray sources, and in this context, electron synchrotron sources play an important role. Notably, they provide a broad continuum of photon energies and generate radiation of high intensity and pronounced brightness also called brilliance. (The brightness...
