- And to narrow the scope, I focus on imaging detectors at hard X-ray synchrotron radiation sources.
- synchrotron radiation
- synchrotron source
- synchrotron emission
But we often travel to synchrotrons where we have higher intensity, IE more photons per second, and then you get better quality data.
- But we often travel to synchrotrons where we have higher intensity, IE more photons per second, and then you get better quality data.
- So it sees a field like a synchrotron, but we don't have to ramp the thing in in time.
Examples
-
On Earth, only particle accelerators such as synchrotrons are capable of accelerating electrons to such high speeds.

Etymology
Synchrotron combines syn- ('together') and chron- ('time') with -tron ('device'). It names a machine that keeps tiny charged particles moving in step with changing forces as it speeds them up, so the word suggests a 'device that keeps things together in time'.
