What Makes Synchrotron Radiation (SR) so Useful?
Wide energy spectrum:
SR is emitted with a wide
range of energies
High brightness:
SR is extremely intense
(hundreds of thousands of
times higher than
conventional x-ray tubes)
Highly polarized and short
pulses:
SR is emitted in very short
pulses, typically less that a
nano-second (a billionth of a
second)
SR offers many characteristics of visible lasers but into the x-ray regime!

What is synchrotron radiation?
Synchrotron Radiation - What is it?
•
First terrestrial sources were
cyclic - electron synchrotrons
developed for high-energy
physics (HEP) research (19401970) and used parasitically as
light sources with variable
intensity and variable spectrum
•
1960s began the development of
storage rings – again for HEP –
and used mostly parasitically as
light sources, demonstrating the
advantages of constant intensity
and constant spectrum – the
“First” Generation
Visible
Synchrotron Light
“The Crab Nebula, or Messier 1, is one of the most spectacular and intensively studied objects in the sky. It is
the remnant of a supernova in AD 1054, observed as a "guest star" by the Chinese in today's constellation
Taurus. It is among the brightest remnants across a broad wavelength spectrum. The Crab Nebula is
probably the best-known synchrotron emission nebula. The synchrotron light is what is primarily seen in the
2MASS image…. “ http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/2mass/gallery/images_snrs.html
Synchrotron Radiation - How is it Practically Produced
and Used for Research?
the storage ring circulates
electrons and where their path
is bent - synchrotron radiation
is produced
klystrons generate high power
radiowaves to sustain electron
acceleration, replenishing energy
lost to synchrotron radiation
electron gun
produces
electrons
beam lines transport radiation
into “hutches” where
instrumentation is available for
experiments
special “wiggler”
insertion devices
used to generate
x-rays
accelerator/booster
accelerate e- which are
transported to storage ring

ec(keV) = 0.665 B(T)E2(GeV)

usually lower ~ 1 – 1.5T)

A Range of X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Approaches
• Polarized single crystal XAS – combined
with protein crystallography – electronic
information; higher accuracy for metal site
structure; radiation-imposed structural
changes
• Polarized grazing-incidence XAS of metals at
oriented surfaces and interfaces.
• MicroXAS imaging for elemental mapping,
electronic and metric structure for speciation
and ultimately functional understanding – at
beam size and raster density adjusted to
biological specimen and study requirement
• High-throughput biological XAS for structural
genomics application – requires efforts in
automation
• High-energy resolution techniques with x-ray
emission component – selective EXAFS,
resonant inelastic scattering (RIXS), nonresonant x-ray Raman scattering

A little history…
Was not always like this…
SSRP Bldg 120 – the beginning - 1973
SSRP Bldg 131 – a major
expansion of the hall
SPEAR with Bldg 120 – before 131
Expanding Bldg 120 for BL9
and labs
In all – the experimental hall around SPEAR has had 8 additions since the initial construction in 1973-74
First SSRL “Hutch” 1973
..and the First EXAFS “Hutch” on SSRL BL1-5
Linac-driven Light Sources - Toward the 4th Generation
Brightness and Pulse Length in Electron-based X-ray generation
• X-ray brightness determined by electron beam brightness
• X-ray pulse length determined by electron beam pulse length
Storage ring (“conventional synchrotron radiation”)
Emittance and bunch length are result of an equilibrium
Typical numbers: 2 nm rad, 50 psec
Linac (source for X-ray FEL or ERL)
Normalized emittance is determined by electron gun
Bunch length is determined by electron compression
Typical numbers: 0.03 nm rad, 100 fs or shorter
Linac beam can be much brighter and pulses much shorter!
– at cost of “jitter”- and provides necessary characteristics for
ERLs or x-ray FEL generation
