Synchrotron radiation facilities
ID: synchrotron-radiation-facilities
Synchrotron radiation facilities are specialized research installations that generate intense beams of light known as synchrotron radiation. This light is produced when charged particles, typically electrons, are accelerated to near the speed of light and then forced to travel along curved paths by powerful magnetic fields. As these electrons change direction, they emit electromagnetic radiation across a broad spectrum, ranging from infrared to hard X-rays.
