The possibility to operate the ring simultaneously with electrons and positrons is an advantage mainly for elementary particle physics. For the synchrotron radiation studies it is of no effect despite for the fact that at each position where the beams are bended by the dipole magnet two synchrotron radiation beams are emitted in opposite directions, one from the electrons and one from the positrons. The decrease of intensity due to collisions between electrons and positrons is negligible. 

The work was supported by the National Science Foundation (University of Minnesota and Rice University), the Minnesota Supercomputer Institute, and the Robert A. Welch Foundation (Rice University). The synchrotron-radiation studies were done at Aladdin, a user facility supported by the National Science Founda tion, and the assistance of its staff is gratefully acknowl edged. Special thanks are due to M. B. Jost and D. M Poirier for stimulating discussions and to S. Saito and J Bernholc for sharing their calculations prior to publica tion.

Synchrotron radiation studies [92] have identified systematic changes in the interplanar spacing in the vicinity of the microscopically visible reaction interface, showing that the thickness of the reaction zone is about 150 pm. There is apparently significant loss of water fi-om the zone ahead of the recrystallization plane identified as the advancing reaction interface.

Although most suitable for use with lasers, Thermionic diodes have also been successfully applied to synchrotron radiation studies by using wiggler magnets to enhance the intensity of the beam [390]. Last but not least, one should mention the important category of atomic beam experiments, complemented by the techniques of photoelectron and photoion spectroscopy. All these techniques are suitable for the experimental study of interacting resonances. We turn now to their theoretical description, which will be illustrated by experimental examples. 

Recent advancement in synchrotron radiation studies has opened up many new avenues for research in Chemistry and Biology as evident from the various contributions in this two volumes. The recognition of the usefulness of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) with synchrotron radiation is one of the important elements that lead to this development. It is timely to discuss here some unique applications of XAS in liquid state studies. 

Clearly, this experiment demonstrates the high potential of synchrotron radiation studies in this important field of membrane biophysics, and a wealth of very relevant results can be expected from future improvements in the design of the experiments, particularly from isothermal rapid mixing experiments, where the time resolution can be enhanced probably by two orders of magnitude.

The coagulation of carbon has been shown to occur behind the detonation front by Hayes and the Russian electrical conductivity and synchrotron radiation studies. Diamonds or other forms of solid carbon are formed at substantial distances and times after the passage of the detonation front. This is the fundamental process behind the observed build-up of detonation for explosives that form solid carbon as a detonation product.
