• Sommario/riassunto: Synchroton radiation is the most important new source of electromagnetic radiation and has drastically transformed the study of ; the properties of materials. This book presents the properties of synchroton radiation in a clear and self-contained way and explains the advanced techniques which are required for its production. - ;This book introduces in a thorough and self-contained way the production of electromagnetic radiation by high energy electron storage rings. This radiation, which is called synchroton radiation, has become a research tool of wide application. Physicists, chemists, biologi
