Series on Synchrotron Radiation Techniques and Applications - Vol. 4

NOVEL RADIATION SOURCES USING RELATIVISTIC ELECTRONS
From Infrared to X-Rays

by P Rullhusen (Institute for Reference Materials & Measurements, Belgium), X Artru (Université Claude Bernard, France) & P Dhez (Université Paris-Sud, France)

The purpose of this book is to give a description of the state of the art in theoretical and experimental work achieved in radiation source development. It summarizes clearly and comprehensibly, the basic physical aspects needed to understand the phenomena, and also provides the interested reader with sufficient literature to be able to follow the development in more detail. In addition, it contains a unified view of most theoretical effects and their common properties. The most recent developments as well as references to further work can be found in this volume. In many cases, review articles and textbooks published in specialized areas are also incorporated into the text.
