Industrial uses of synchrotron radiation

Synchrotron Radiation Based Imaging Methods for Industrial Applications at the German Synchrotron ANKA

Synchrotron radiation imaging methodes have been proven to be highly suitable for investigations in materials research and non-destructive evaluation. The intense flux and partial spatial coherence available at modern synchrotron light sources allows one to work with high resolutions and different contrast modes. This articles gives an overview about different direct and indirect imaging method...

Synchrotron Radiation and Pretzeled Orbits Geometry of Synchrotron Radiation Illumination

Turning on a `pretzel' , or any closed orbit distortion, can substantially alter the path of synchrotron radiation (SR), in some instances causing it to strike components not designed to absorb the radiation. In this paper I develop equations useful in determining the source position and angle of dipole SR as a function of the pretzel amplitude and angle. Formula for linear power deposition and...

1.1 Initial scientific uses of coherent synchrotron radiation in electron storage rings

The terahertz (THz) and sub-THz region of the electromagnetic spectrum bridges the infrared and the microwave. This boundary region is beyond the normal reach of optical and electronic measurement techniques normally associated with these better-known neighbors. Only over the past decade has this THz region become scientifically accessible with broadband sources of moderate intensity being prod...

Electroweak Synchrotron Radiation*

We calculate the emission rate and spectrum for radiation of neutral electroweak bosons (Z”) f rom an electron in a weak external homogeneous electromagnetic field satisfying 1 f Fcly Fp”/1/2 < Fc 3 mzc3/eti. The calculational method is based on the source theory formulation of quantum field theory introduced by Schwinger. In particular for ultra-relativistic electrons, we find that the 2’ emis...
