Welcome to the Synchrotron Radiation Course

Synchrotron Radiation 2011, preliminary plan (up-dated on Studentportalen): 26.10. 13-15 Introduction, history, sources of electromagnetic radiation, accelerating charged particles at high speed. 27.10. 13-15 Basic ideas 1: Properties of synchrotron radiation: angular distribution, energy distribution, power, brilliance, polarization, time structure, coherence. 8.11. 13-15 Basic ideas 2 9.11. 10-12 Insertion devices: Wigglers and Undulators 14-16.11 MAX-lab user meeting 17.11. 13-15   Reports from the user meeting 18.11. 10-12 Optical properties in the soft X-ray range. Absorption-Reflection-Transmission 21.11. 10-12 Beamlines and monochromators 22.11. 13-15 Free electron lasers xxxxx: Laborations at MAX-lab xxxx Lab presentations, suggested applications xxxx Presentations by experts in various fields xxxxx Dissertations The examination includes handed-in solved problems, performing a laboratory work. In addition, you will write a beamtime proposal, which you must defend in a ‘dissertation’, and you will also act as opponent on one occasion. These dissertations will take place during December.and the beginning of next year. We use Attwood: ‘Soft X-ray and Extreme Ultraviolet Radiation’, and lecture notes.
