What is a synchrotron?
• A big circle…
• …which accelerates charged particles…
• …which radiate light…
• …which we use

It’s a light source!
![Page 6: X-ray spectroscopy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/568148b1550346895db5c6b2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A very useful light source
• Very bright– Millions of times brighter than x-ray tubes
• Very colourful– Energies from infrared to hard x-ray
• Highly polarized– linear or circular
• Great time resolution– Pulses of nanosecond duration
• Key point: new uses, improves other uses
