1. Welcome to the Synchrotron Radiation Course

2. Synchrotron Radiation 2011, preliminary plan (up-dated on Studentportalen):
Introduction, history, sources of electromagnetic radiation, accelerating charged particles at high speed.
Basic ideas 1: Properties of synchrotron radiation: angular distribution, energy distribution, power, brilliance, polarization, time structure, coherence.
Basic ideas 2
Insertion devices: Wigglers and Undulators
MAX-lab user meeting
   Reports from the user meeting
 Optical properties in the soft X-ray range. Absorption-Reflection-Transmission Beamlines and monochromators
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.
