High-Energy Synchrotron Source

A high-energy synchrotron source is a facility that produces intense beams of bright, X-ray or ultraviolet light by accelerating electrons to near-light speeds in a circular track using powerful magnets. When these high-speed electrons change direction, they emit electromagnetic radiation called synchrotron light. This light is highly focused, tunable, and extremely bright, allowing scientists to examine the structure of materials, biological molecules, and chemicals at very small scales and with great precision. Such sources are essential tools for advanced research in physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science.
