Properties of Synchrotron Radiation

  • Chapter
Synchrotron Radiation Research

Abstract

Synchrotron radiation has several important properties including:

  1. 1.

    High intensity

  2. 2.

    Broad spectral range

  3. 3.

    High polarization

  4. 4.

    Pulsed time structure

  5. 5.

    Natural collimation

In addition, synchrotron radiation produced by storage rings (rather than synchrotrons) offers:

  1. 6.

    High-vacuum environment

  2. 7

    Small-source-spot size

  3. 8.

    Stability
