INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION • What What is Synchrotron Radiation (SR)? is Synchrotron Radiation (SR)? • SR is elmag radiation emitted when a charged  particle travels along a curved trajectory particle travels along a curved trajectory. • Di Discovered as byproduct at first  d b d fi synchrotrons (causing problems) • Soon applications were found, giving  rise to 1st generation of SR facilities

Generations of SR Facilities Generations of SR Facilities • 1st generation SR facilities: running in parasitic  generation SR facilities: running in parasitic mode, not optimized for SR production • 2nd generation SR facilities were first facilities  generation SR facilities were first facilities dedicated solely to SR. High & stable current  and large number of beam lines for users and large number of beam lines for users • 3rd generation: optimized to increase brilliance  and use of insertion devices d fi i d i • 4th generation: FELs

Which particles? Which particles? • SR SR power radiated by a particle of mass m power radiated by a particle of mass m is  is proportional to m‐4 • Most SR facilities therefore use electrons,  some use positrons (ALS) some use positrons (ALS)

SR Applications SR Applications • Biology: Biology: protein crystallography, drug design,  protein crystallography drug design dynamic studies of cellular/viral processes… • Material science: crystallography, surface  Material science: crystallography surface studies, changing material properties • Chemistry: molecular structure, dynamics of  Ch i l l d i f chemical processes • Microchip lithography, micro‐welding, … gy • Nanotechnology 

SR Facilities SR Facilities • Probably Probably over 100 SR facilities around the  over 100 SR facilities around the world • Large national and multinational centers:  Large national and multinational centers: ESRF(EU), SPRING8(JP), PAL(KO), BESY‐II (GE),  Diamond (GB) Diamond (GB), … • US: NSLS, SSRL, ALS, APS, … • Smaller facilities at a number of universities  and industry

SR  SOURCES

SR Sources SR Sources • When a charge moves, information (el. field) is  transmitted @ speed of light – spherical wave.  Angle‐dependent Doppler shift occurs at  electron velocities approaching speed of light.
