Food security in an era of climate change and civil strife. 330 $aOver 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 s 606 $aPhotons 606 $aParticle accelerators 615 0$aPhotons. 615 0$aParticle accelerators. 676 $a539.73 701 $aChao$b Alex$0345495 701 $aChou$b Weiren$01598217 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815403103321 996 $aAccelerators as photon sources$93920308 997 $aUNINA
