The Physics of Synchrotron Radiation

Abstract

This book explains the underlying physics of synchrotron radiation and derives its main properties. It is divided into four parts. The first covers the general case of the electromagnetic fields created by an accelerated relativistic charge. The second part concentrates on the radiation emitted by a charge moving on a circular trajectory. The third looks at undulator radiation, covering plane weak undulators, strong undulators and other more general undulators. The final part deals with applications and investigates the optics of synchrotron radiation dominated by diffraction due to the small opening angle. It also includes a description of electron storage rings as radiation sources and the effect of the emitted radiation on the electron beam. This book provides a valuable reference for scientists and engineers in the field of accelerators, and all users of synchrotron radiation.

“…Expressions for radiation by a charged particle following a circular orbit with radius ρ in a uniform field B d may be found in many references, such as Hofmann [4] or the convenient x-ray booklet [5…”

“…The energy per particle emitted into dξ dψ dω is given by Hofmann [4]: Figure 3 shows that the peak wavelength for on-axis radiation from protons at injection energy is 609 nm, but is 3.86 µm for lead ions. At maximum energy, the proton emission peaks at 2.52 nm, compared to 16.0 nm for lead ions.…”

“…The synchrotron light is radiated from a relativistic electron beam circulating in a storage ring particle accelerator [23,24,25]. As the electron beam circulates, random single-particle collisional processes lead to decay of the beam current in time.…”
