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.
Especially when artificially produced, synchrotron radiation is notable for its: High brilliance, many orders of magnitude more than with X-rays produced in conventional X-ray tubes: 3rd-generation sources typically have a brilliance larger than 10 18 photons·s −1 ·mm −2 ·mrad −2 /(0.1%BW), where 0.1%BW denotes a bandwidth 10 −3 ω centered around the frequency ω.
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.
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).
The High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) (Chinese: 高能同步辐射光源) is a diffraction-limited storage ring synchrotron light source producing hard x-ray radiations for scientific applications that will be built in the Huairou District in suburban Beijing, with estimated completion in 2025. [1] [2] [3] [4]
On December 6, 2017, the journal Nature unveiled the discovery at the European synchrotron of a new species of dinosaur with surprising characteristics that lived about 72 million years ago. It is a biped, with some features of a velociraptor , an ostrich and a swan, with a crocodile-like muzzle and penguin-like wings.
The first synchrotron to use the "racetrack" design with straight sections, a 300 MeV electron synchrotron at University of Michigan in 1949, designed by Dick Crane.. A synchrotron is a particular type of cyclic particle accelerator, descended from the cyclotron, in which the accelerating particle beam travels around a fixed closed-loop path.
One of the world's brightest sources of ultraviolet and soft x-ray light, the ALS is the first "third-generation" synchrotron light source [1] in its energy range, providing multiple extremely bright sources of intense and coherent short-wavelength light for use in scientific experiments by researchers from around the world.
