Synchrotron Light Source

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A synchrotron light source is a source of electromagnetic (EM) radiation produced by synchrotron radiation, which is artificially produced for scientific and technical purposes by specialized particle accelerators, typically accelerating electrons. Once the high-energy electron beam has been generated, it is directed into auxiliary components such as bending magnets and insertion devices (undulators or wigglers) in storage rings and free electron lasers. These supply the strong magnetic fields perpendicular to the beam which are needed to convert the high-energy electron energy into light or some other form of EM radiation.
