Synchrotron radiation can be coherent and incoherent. Coherent SR arises when electrons are grouped into short bunches so that the entire bunch emits SR as a whole. Quantum mechanically, in coherent SR the photon emission from different electrons in a bunch sum up at the amplitudes level and constructively interfere. In the incoherent SR they sum up at the ...

Not to worry, it's fairly easy: right now you have a differential equation which can be written $$\frac{\mathrm{d}E}{\mathrm{d}t} = -CE^2$$ for some constant $C$. You need to solve that differential equation for $E(t)$. (If you're wondering how to do that, you can find more information at the math site.) Then you can determine the electron's energy at the ...

Dear John, a good question. You may want to read a relevant paper about the closely related question for the late SSC collider: http://mafurman.lbl.gov/SSC-N-143.pdf Bunch-Length Dependence of Power Loss for the SSC The beam has $M$ bunches in the orbit. Each of them carries $Ne$ of electric charge. All of the particles orbit by frequency $f_0$ ...

I am posting this since it is too long for comments and it starts on the way to gamma ray FEL. It seems that they have managed at SLAC up to X-ray wavelengths.The facility is called LCLS, (Linac Coheren Light Source). The LCLS uses the final third of SLAC's two-mile linear accelerator to drive electrons to high energy and through an array of "undulator" ...

Synchrotron radiation is a high energy phenomenon. It is a form of bremsstrahlung, this being the electromagnetic radiation produced by the deceleration of a charged particle when deflected by another charged particle, typically an electron by an atomic nucleus. Synchrotron radiation is produced in the deceleration of a charged particle in a magnetic ...
