Download or read book Insertion Devices For Synchrotron Radiation And Free Electron Laser written by F Ciocci and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2000-06-27 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the basic properties of charged beam transport and the theory of accelerators with radiative damping. The characteristics of the third generation synchrotron radiation sources are analyzed and compared to those of the first and second generations. This is followed by the conceptual and technological problems associated with the discovery of the fourth generation sources. Within this framework, the role played by free electron laser devices is discussed and relevant theoretical and technological aspects of storage-ring and Linac-based sources are analyzed.
