This lattice provides optimized bending and focusing of electrons in storage rings designed for synchrotron light sources.
The programme builds on the infrastructures and scientific expertise in the area of synchrotron light sources available in the Hamburg area.
The potential of the technique was limited until modern synchrotron light sources became available.
To achieve this level of output, the X-ray source must typically be a synchrotron source.
UPS has seen a considerable revival with the increasing availability of synchrotron light sources which provide a wide range of monochromatic photon energies.
An insertion device (ID) is a component in modern synchrotron light sources.
As all the others synchrotron sources, Kurchatov source is a user facility.
The advent of synchrotron sources has widened the choice of wavelength considerably.
The advent of synchrotron sources has drastically changed this picture and caused powder diffraction methods to enter a whole new phase of development.
This can be done at synchrotron sources but very high intensities are needed which may cause the structures to change.
