Master SR

If you ask, “What color is an electron?”, this is a jest, but there is a great deal of truth in it: The light emitted by electrons (and even by a single electron) circulating in the accelerator storage ring was seen by many, and they can even describe its color…

Here we are dealing with the socalled synchrotron radiation (SR) whose high-power sources are beams of charged particles moving in the magnetic field with relativistic velocities. Unique properties of SR are a wide spectral range, high power, high brightness of sources, and natural polarization. Owing to these properties, SR is used to solve various fundamental and applied problems.

More information on these and other subjects you can find in the printed version of our journal.
