Light Source Physics

One of the first elements we encounter along the beamline is the  monochromator . Here 's an article describing how to compute the flu...

My last post was about codes for modeling electron beams and x-rays.  As of recently, there is now a new tool for beamline modeling.  Its ca...

The x-rays in a synchrotron are produced by high energy electrons traversing magnetic fields. The main devices that produce the magnetic fie...

Once one knows the electron beam properties, then one can calculate the radiation properties. What are the basics? What photon beam is ...

There are many sources of light in the world.  What do we usually think of when we ask where light comes from?  One obvious answer is the su...
