A Brief Overview of Synchrotron Radiation

T. K. Sham1 and Mark L. Rivers2

1 Department of Chemistry Chemistry Building University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, N6A 5B7, Canada
2 Consortium for Advanced Radiation Sources Building 434A Argonne National Laboratory 9700 S. Cass Avenue Argonne, Illinois, 60439, U.S.A.

The generation of synchrotron radiation from a storage ring is described with emphasis placed on aspects relevant to synchrotron radiation users. Topics include the history of synchrotron radiation, the machinery that makes a storage ring work, the dipole and the insertion device sources, the importance of storage ring energy, current and emittance, the properties of synchrotron radiation and their relevance to the study of the interaction of light with matter.
