The Journal of Synchrotron Radiation is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the International Union of Crystallography.It was established in 1994 and covers research on synchrotron radiation and X-ray free-electron lasers and their applications.
The journal is indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded. [1] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2017 impact factor of 1.085, ranking it 18th out of 33 journals in the category "Nuclear Science and Technology" [2] and 18th out of 20 journals in the category "Physics, Nuclear".
Synchrotron radiation was first observed by technician Floyd Haber, on April 24, 1947, at the 70 MeV electron synchrotron of the General Electric research laboratory in Schenectady, New York. [5] While this was not the first synchrotron built, it was the first with a transparent vacuum tube, allowing the radiation to be directly observed.

The National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in Upton, New York was a national user research facility funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Built from 1978 through 1984, and officially shut down on September 30, 2014, [2] the NSLS was considered a second-generation synchrotron. [3]
The Wilson Synchrotron Lab, which houses both the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) and CHESS, is named after Robert R. Wilson, known for his work as a group leader in the Manhattan Project, for being the first director of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, and for contributing to the design of CESR. [2]
MAX IV is the world's first 4th generation [6] [7] synchrotron light source facility in Lund, Sweden. [8] Its design [9] [10] and planning was carried out within the Swedish national laboratory, MAX-lab, which up until 2015 operated three storage rings for synchrotron radiation research: MAX I (550 MeV, opened 1986), MAX II (1.5 GeV, opened 1997) and MAX III (700 MeV, opened 2008).
