Hofmann A. The Physics of Synchrotron Radiation

Cambridge University Press, 2007. — 348 pp. — (Cambridge Monographs on Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Cosmology). — ISBN: 9780521308267 (Hardback) 9780521037532 (Paperback) 9780511194160 (eBook).Synchrotron radiation is an important research tool for many areas of particle physics. This book explains the underlying physics which determines radiation properties, presenting these properties in easily applicable equations and figures. It describes the general radiation and its interaction with electrons and is a valuable reference for scientists in the field.Comprehensive coverage of the underlying physics, with applications
