description: An expert survey of new synchrotron radiation sources and applicationsSynchrotron radiation continues to be an indispensable tool for physicists, materials scientists, chemists, and macromolecular crystallographers. Researchers in such fields as medicine, geological and environmental studies, structural genomics, and archaeology are finding ever more uses for this technology.This book discusses new third generation synchrotron radiation sources such as the Advanced Photon Source (APS), the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), and the Super Photon Ring-8 GeV (Spring-8). Topics such as accelerator design, radiation properties, and x-ray optics are given detailed treatment.With its coverage of both established and experimental techniques, applications, and specialized topics-all written by renowned experts and practitioners-Third Generation Hard X-ray Synchrotron Radiation Sources provides an indispensable, up-to-date account of the current state of the art.
