Elements of Synchrotron Light: for Biology, Chemistry, and Medical Research


Add your own review!

Overview

This is a simple, but complete, description of synchrotron sources and free electron lasers and of the corresponding instrumentation and techniques. The emphasis is on basic concepts and the mathematical formalism is reduced to a minimum. No advanced knowledge of physics and mathematics is required beyond a standard elementary background. The reading is facilitated by a two-level presentation including a very simple descriptive treatment, and slightly more in-depth discussions of specific topics.

Reviews

The main text includes mathematical equations to describe how the synchrotron source generates light and also contains inset sections with further discussions of the mathematics and physics details. There are plenty of figures and resources for further reading. Appropriate for readers with a basic understanding of physics. --CHOICE<br>
