Food security in an era of climate change and civil strife.Over the last half century we have witnessed tremendous progress in the production of high-quality photons by electrons in accelerators. This dramatic evolution has seen four generations of accelerators as photon sources. The 1st generation used the electron storage rings built primarily for high-energy physics experiments, and the synchrotron radiation from the bending magnets was used parasitically. The 2nd generation involved rings dedicated to synchrotron radiation applications, with the radiation again from the bending magnets. The 3rd generation, currently the workhorse of these photon sPhotonsParticle acceleratorsPhotons.Particle accelerators.539.73Chao Alex345495Chou Weiren1502888MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781493403321Accelerators as photon sources3792126UNINA
