  • Synchrotron Light Source
    Synchrotron Light Source The evolution of light sources echoes the progress of civilization in technology, and carries with it mankind's hopes to make life's dreams come true. The synchrotron light source is one of the most influential light sources in scientific research in our times. Bright light generated by ultra-rapidly orbiting electrons leads human beings to explore the microscopic world. Located in Hsinchu Science Park, the NSRRC operates a high-performance synchrotron, providing X-rays of great brightness that is unattainable in conventional laboratories and that draws NSRRC users from academic and technological communities worldwide. Each year, scientists and students have been paying over ten thousand visits to the NSRRC to perform experiments day and night in various scientific fields, using cutting-edge technologies and apparatus. These endeavors aim to explore the vast universe, scrutinize the complicated structures of life, discover novel nanomaterials, create a sustainable environment of green energy, unveil living things in the distant past, and deliver better and richer material and spiritual lives to mankind. Synchrotron Light Source Light, also known as electromagnetic waves, has always been an important means for humans to observe and study the natural world. The electromagnetic spectrum includes not only visible light, which can be seen with a naked human eye, but also radiowaves, microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays, classified according to their wave lengths. Light of Trajectory of the electron beam varied kind, based on its varied energetic characteristics, plays varied roles in the daily lives of human beings.

Based on the last decade JAERI reactor design studies, the advanced commercial reactor concept (A- SSTR2) which meets both economical and environmental requirements has been proposed. The A-SSTR2 is a compact power reactor (Rp=6.2m, ap=1.5m, Ip=12MA) with a high fusion power (Pf =4GW) and a net thermal efficiency of 51%. The machine configuration is simplified by eliminating a center solenoid (CS) coil system. SiC/SiC composite for blanket structure material, helium gas cooling with pressure of 10MPa and outlet temperature of 900˚C, and TiH2 for bulk shield material are introduced. For the toroidal field (TF) coil, a high temperature (T C) superconducting wire made of bismuth with the maximum field of 23Tand the critical current density of 1000A/mm2 at a temperature of 20K is applied.

  • Synchrotron Radiation R.P
    SYNCHROTRON RADIATION R.P. Walker Sincrotrone Trieste, Italy Abstract The basic properties of synchrotron radiation are described, and their relevance to the design of electron and proton rings is discussed. The development of specialized sources of synchrotron radiation is also considered. 1 . INTRODUCTION The electromagnetic radiation emitted by a charged particle beam in a circular accelerator is termed "synchrotron radiation" (SR) after its first visual observation nearly 50 years ago in the General Electric (G.E.) 70 MeV Synchrotron. The theoretical basis for understanding synchrotron radiation however goes back much further. Maxwell's equations (1873) made it clear that changing charge densities would radiate electromagnetic waves, and Hertz demonstrated these waves in 1887. The first more directly relevant development was the publication of Liénard's paper entitled "The electric and magnetic field produced by an electric charge concentrated at a point and in arbitrary motion" [1]. This work includes the energy loss formula for particles travelling on a circular path with relativistic velocities. Later, Schott published a detailed essay that included also the angular and frequency distribution of the radiation, as well as the polarization properties [2]. No further interest appears to have been taken in the topic until the early 1940's, when theoretical work in the Soviet Union showed that the energy loss may pose a limit on the maximum energy obtainable in the betatron [3]. Then in 1946 Blewett measured the energy loss due to SR in the G.E. 100 MeV betatron and found agreement with theory, but failed to detect the radiation after searching in the microwave region of the spectrum [4].

  • Particle Accelerators
    Particle Accelerators By Stephen Lucas The subatomic Shakespeare of St.Neots Purposes of this presentation… To be able to explain how different particle accelerators work. To be able to explain the role of magnetic fields in particle accelerators. How the magnetic force provides the centripetal force in particle accelerators. Why have particle accelerators? They enable similarly charged particles to get close to each other - e.g. Rutherford blasted alpha particles at a thin piece of gold foil, in order to get the positively charged alpha particle near to the nucleus of a gold atom, high energies were needed to overcome the electrostatic force of repulsion. The more energy given to particles, the shorter their de Broglie wavelength (λ = h/mv), therefore the greater the detail that can be investigated using them as a probe e.g. – at the Stanford Linear Accelerator, electrons were accelerated to high energies and smashed into protons and neutrons revealing charge concentrated at three points – quarks. Colliding particles together, the energy is re-distributed producing new particles. The higher the collision energy the larger the mass of the particles that can be produced. E = mc2 The types of particle accelerator Linear Accelerators or a LINAC Cyclotron Synchrotron Basic Principles All accelerators are based on the same principle. A charged particle accelerates between a gap between two electrodes when there is a potential difference between them. Energy transferred, Ek = Charge, C x p.d, V Joules (J) Coulombs (C) Volts (V) Ek = QV Converting to electron volts 1 eV is the energy transferred to an electron when it moves through a potential difference of 1V.

In 1897, Larmor derived an expression from classical electrodynamics for the instantaneous total power radiated by an accelerated charged particle. The following year, Liénard extended this result to the case of a relativistic particle undergoing centripetal acceleration in a circular trajectory. Liénard's formula showed the radiated power to be proportional to (E/mc2)4/R2, where E is particle energy, m is the rest mass, and R is the radius of the trajectory Arthur L.

  • Synchrotron Radiation
    Synchrotron Radiation The synchrotron radiation, the emission of very relativistic and ultrarelativistic electrons gyrating in a magnetic field, is the process which dominates much of high energy astrophysics. It was originally observed in early betatron experiments in which electrons were first accelerated to ultrarelativistic energies. This process is responsible for the radio emission from the Galaxy, from supernova remnants and extragalactic radio sources. It is also responsible for the non-thermal optical and X-ray emission observed in the Crab Nebula and possibly for the optical and X-ray continuum emission of quasars. The word non-thermal is used frequently in high energy astrophysics to describe the emission of high energy particles. This an unfortunate terminology since all emission mechanisms are ‘thermal’ in some sense. The word is conventionally taken to mean ‘continuum radiation from particles, the energy spectrum of which is not Maxwellian’. In practice, continuum emission is often referred to as ‘non-thermal’ if it cannot be described by the spectrum of thermal bremsstrahlung or black-body radiation. 1 Motion of an Electron in a Uniform, Static Magnetic field We begin by writing down the equation of motion for a particle of rest mass m0, charge ze and Lorentz factor γ = (1 − v2/c2)−1/2 in a uniform static magnetic field B. d (γm0v) = ze(v × B) (1) dt We recall that the left-hand side of this equation can be expanded as follows: d dv 3 (v · a) m0 (γv) = m0γ + m0γ v (2) dt dt c2 because the Lorentz factor γ should be written γ = (1 − v · v/c2)−1/2.
