Radiation emission processes and properties: synchrotron, undulator and betatron radiation

The Properties of Undulator Radiation

A new generation of synchrotron radiation light sources covering the VUV, soft x-ray, and hard x-ray speclrai regions is under construction in several countries. These sources are designed specifically to use periodic magnetic undulators and low-emittance electron or positron beams to produce high-brightness near-diffraction-limited synchrotron radiation beams. Some of the novel features of the...

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...

Undulator Radiation - First Results

Cyclotron and Synchrotron Radiation

Ask class: what does this mean about the total speed? Constant, of course. Ask class: how does the speed along the magnetic field change? It doesn’t, because the acceleration is all perpendicular to magnetic field. Since the total speed is constant and the speed along the field is constant, this implies circular motion around the field, combined with (possibly) a uniform drift along the field. ...

Undulator Radiation in a Waveguide

We propose an analytical approach to characterize undulator radiation near resonance, when the presence of the vacuum-pipe considerably affects radiation properties. This is the case of the far-infrared undulator beamline at the Free-electron LASer (FEL) in Hamburg (FLASH), that will be capable of delivering pulses in the TeraHertz (THz) range. This undulator will allow pump-probe experiments w...
