**However other researchers soon realized that synchrotron radiation was the brightest source of infrared, ultraviolet, and x-rays, and that could be very useful for studying matter on the scale of**** atoms and molecules****.**

**Electron accelerators were initially developed to probe ****elementary (subnuclear) particles ****for the study of the fundamental nature of matter, space, time, and energy.**

**In the earlier times, synchrotron radiation was just considered as a ****waste product ****limiting the performance achievable with lepton machines.**

## Slide 3

## We already showed that synchrotron radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted when charged particles are radially accelerated (move on a curved path).

**We already showed that synchrotron radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted when charged particles are radially ****accelerated**** (move on a curved path).**

**Electrons ****accelerating**** by running up and down in a radio antenna emit radio waves (long wavelength electromagnetic waves)**

**Both cases are manifestation of the same physical phenomenon:**
***Charged particles radiate when accelerated*****.**

##  We already saw that according to quantum field theory, a particle moving in the free space can be considered as “surrounded” by a cloud of virtual photons that appear and disappear and that indissolubly travel with it.

** ****We already saw that according to quantum field theory, a particle moving in the free space can be considered as “surrounded” by a cloud of ****virtual photons**** that appear and disappear and that indissolubly travel with it.**

** ****When ****accelerated****, the particle receives a “kick” that can separate it from the photons that become real and independently observable.**

**In the field of the magnets in a synchrotron, charged particles moves on a curved trajectory. The transverse acceleration, if strong enough, allows for the separation and *****synchrotron radiation***** is generated.**

**Lighter particles are “easier” to accelerate and radiate photons more efficiently than heavier particles.**

##  Historically, the whole theory was developed well before quantum mechanics was even conceived:

** ****Historically, the whole theory was developed well before quantum mechanics was even conceived:**

** ****The description of synchrotron radiation presented in the previous viewgraph made use of quantum field theory.**

**- in ****1897 Joseph Larmor**** derived the expression for the instantaneous total power radiated by an accelerated charged particle.**

** ****and in ****1898 Alfred Lienard**** **
**(before the relativity theory!) extended Larmor’s result to the case of a relativistic particle undergoing centripetal acceleration in a circular trajectory**

##  Radiated power for transverse acceleration increases dramatically with energy. This sets a practical limit for the maximum energy obtainable with a storage ring, but makes the construction of synchrotron light sources extremely appealing!

##  In one of the previous lectures, we already dealt with the concept of brightness and showed how this quantity is the one of the main parameters for the characterization of a particle source.

** ****In one of the previous lectures, we already dealt with the concept of ****brightness**** and showed how this quantity is the one of the main parameters for the characterization of a particle source.**

** ****We remind that *****brightness is defined***** *****as the density of particle on the 6-D phase space*****.**

** ****The same definition applies to the photon case****, just taking into account that photons are bosons and that the Pauli exclusion principle does not apply.**

** ****This is an important advantage because, at least from the point of view of quantum mechanics, no limitation to achievable photon brightness exists.**

** ****From the above definitions, one can see that for a given flux, sources with a smaller emittance will have a larger brightness.**

##  The ultimate performance parameter of a synchrotron light source is the brightness. 

** ****The ultimate performance parameter of a synchrotron light source is the brightness. **

** ****The battle for the brightness maximization is fought in two fronts:**

** ****In the storage ring, by increasing the current and designing new lattices capable of smaller emittances. Current of  hundreds of mA and lattices with ~ 1 nm emittance are presently used.**

** ****In the ring elements where the synchrotron radiation is actually generated: dipole magnets and insertion devices. And this is where spectacular improvements have been achieved!**

** ****Light sources are usually classified for increasing brightness as:**

** *****1******st****** generation*****: x-ray tubes.**

*** ******2******nd****** generation*****: “parasitic” synchrotron radiation sources from dipoles in colliders.**

*** ******3******rd****** generation*****: dedicated storage rings with insertion devices**

** *****4******th****** generation*****: free electron lasers**

## Photons emitted by different poles interfere transforming the continuous dipole-like spectrum into a discrete spectrum

**Photons emitted by different poles interfere transforming the continuous dipole-like spectrum into a discrete spectrum**

**The interference condition requires that, while traveling along one period of the undulator, the electrons slip by one radiation wavelength with respect to the (faster) photon.**

## The spectrum of the undulator radiation:

**The spectrum of the undulator radiation:**

**depends strongly on the ****strength parameter *****K*****:**

**Remembering that:**

**One can see that *****K***** is proportional to the field *****B*****:**

**In a permanent magnet undulator, *****B***** and consequently *****K***** can be modified by changing the gap height. The larger the gap the lower the field.**

**When *****B *****is increased, both *****K***** and the “wiggling” inside the undulator ****increase as well****. With the larger wiggling, the overlap between the radiated field (****1/********** cone) decreases and the interference is reduced. **
**For *****K***** >> 1**** no interference is present and the undulator presents the continuum spectrum typical of the ****wiggler****.**

##  In free electron lasers (FEL), a relativistic electron beam and a laser overlap and travel simultaneously inside an undulator.

** ****In free electron lasers (FEL), a relativistic electron beam and a laser overlap and travel simultaneously inside an undulator.**

** ****Oscillating through the undulator, the electron bunch interacts with the laser and in a minor way with its own electromagnetic field created via spontaneous emission. Depending on the relative phase between radiation and electron oscillation, electrons experience either a deceleration or acceleration. **

** ****The laser is tuned at the frequency of one of the undulator harmonics. The whole undulator is included inside an optical cavity composed by two reflecting mirrors located at the two undulator extremes. **

**In such a schemes the laser beam bounces many times back and forward inside the cavity and has multiple interactions with the electron beam.**

** ****Through this interaction a longitudinal fine structure, the so called ****micro-bunching****, is established which amplifies the electromagnetic field at the laser frequency.**

##  In the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) FEL, there is no laser and the electron beam interacts only with its own spontaneous emission. 

** ****In the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) FEL, there is no laser and the electron beam interacts only with its own spontaneous emission. **

** ****In order to obtain a large gain in the SASE scheme, a long and expensive undulator is required. In a “conventional” FEL the undulator is much shorter because the laser beam is re-circulated many times inside the cavity. Unfortunately, the highest frequency achievable with such a configuration is limited to the near-UV because of the absence of efficient large incidence angle mirrors for shorter wavelengths.**

** ****For such a scheme to work, one has to guarantee a good electron beam quality and a sufficient overlap between radiation pulse and electron bunch along the undulator. To achieve that, one needs a low emittance, low energy spread electron beam with an extremely high charge density in conjunction with a very precise magnetic field and accurate beam steering through the undulator. **
