Summary:

Synchroton radiation is the most important new source of electromagnetic radiation and has drastically transformed the study of the properties of materials. This book presents the properties of synchroton radiation in a clear and self-contained way and explains the advanced techniques which are required for its production. - ;This book introduces in a thorough and self-contained way the production of electromagnetic radiation by high energy electron storage rings. This radiation, which is called synchroton radiation, has become a research tool of wide application. Physicists, chemists, biologi
