Converting between brilliance, intensity, and flux
This one should be a bit of a softball, but I can't find it explicitly stated anywhere on the internet, and my basic unit analysis doesn't seem to work.
Suppose you have a beam of synchrotron ...

Free Electron Lasers (FEL) and limits on laser wavelength
Free Electron Lasers are based on Synchroton coherent radiation when a collimated electron beam suffers trajectory curvature due to a strong bouncing magnetic field inside an undulator.
Free Electron ...

Is synchrotron radiation considered incandescent?
Synchrotron radiation is produced via the acceleration of charged particles, much like incandescence.
However, all information I've seen state that incandescent light is produced exclusively from the ...

The Synchrotron at CalTech
In the Feynman Lectures Vol. 1, it says that the Synchrotron at the California Institute of Technology is capable of producing electromagnetic Radiations with a frequency of $10^{24}$ cycles per ...

How do I rearrange dE/dt to find an electron's 'half-life' due to synchrotron radiation?
I know that $-\frac{\mathrm{d}E}{\mathrm{d}t} \propto E^2$ for an electron losing energy to synchrotron radiation, but I can't find how to arrange this to give the time it would take for the electron ...

Does bunching reduce synchrotron radiation?
A continuous charge distribution flowing as a constant current in a closed loop doesn't radiate. Is it therefore true that as you increase the number of proton bunches in the LHC, while keeping the ...
