Synchrotron radiation (beam output)

Layer 1 — Physicsin the accelerator-physics subtree

Relativistic-electron radiation emitted tangent to the orbit with opening angle 1/γ and critical energy ℏω_c = (3/2)(ℏc/ρ)γ³. Intense, collimated, tunable X-ray source — operational basis of third-generation light sources.
