An Introduction to Synchrotron Radiation

Techniques and Applications

von Philip Willmott
This book introduces the reader to the basic concepts of thegeneration and manipulation of synchrotron light, its interactionwith matter, and the application of synchrotron light in the„classical“ techniques, while including some of themost modern technological developments. As much as possible, complicated mathematical derivations and formulas are avoided. Amore heuristic approach is adopted, whereby the general physicalreasoning behind the equations is highlighted.
Key features:
* A general introduction to synchrotron radiation andexperimental techniques using synchrotron radiation
* Contains many detailed „worked examples“ from theliterature
* Of interest for a broad audience - synchrotrons are possiblyone of the best examples of multidisciplinary research
* Four-colour presentation throughout
