Synchrotron Radiation as Analytical Tools for Industrial Materials ～Synchrotron Radiation and Synchrotron Facilities～

Radiation protection at synchrotron radiation facilities.

A synchrotron radiation (SR) facility typically consists of an injector, a storage ring, and SR beamlines. The latter two features are unique to SR facilities, when compared to other types of accelerator facilities. The SR facilities have the characteristics of low injection beam power, but high stored beam power. The storage ring is generally above ground with people occupying the experimental...

Materials Analysis Using Synchrotron Radiation

Synchrotron radiation (SR) is a tunable, highly oriented, intense X-ray. Its tunability has led to XAFS being used as a common analytical tool, and is particularly useful for examining local structures. In fact, its use is indispensable to the examination of not only amorphous materials or solutions but also multicomponent systems. Thanks to the high intensity of SR, it is possible to determine...

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...

Synchrotron Radiation Facilities in the Usa *

With the successful commissioning and achievement of significant milestones at both the 7-GeV Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory and the 1.5-GeV Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, synchrotron radiation research capability in the United States holds the promise of many important discoveries in the decade to come. An overview of current ...
