Synchrotron in a sentence as a noun

The synchrotron, of course, is a vastly different machine.

They're produced by a synchrotron or some exotic laser tricks, not a lamp, and the cost of the "light source" is high. The other side of Moore's Law is that each generation of fab costs a lot more than the last one.

You can't easily reflect the beam, you can only bend it "with a small radius", but then you loose a lot of the energy via synchrotron radiation. You would also need /very/ strong fields.

It is called synchrotron radiation and is the main limitation factor of these kind of accelerators.

Argentina does not have a synchrotron but have particle accelerators.

And I am not sure what exactly is the resolving power of synchrotron radiation, but I expect if to be pretty high. However, the breakthrough here seems being able to do so using a low-energy electron beam.

That's the idea behind the ILC, electron beams are clean and with a linear collider you don't have synchrotron radiation background to worry about. Another way is the any number of fixed target neutrino experiments.

"The morphological characteristics of J1615+5452 coupled with its spectral properties and synchrotron age helped us to classify the peculiar source as a dying radio galaxy," the authors of the paper wrote. Loved this from the article.

Protons emit less synchrotron radiation, making it easier to make accelerators in a ring shape. Electrons eventually radiate as much energy as it takes to accelerate them, creating a barrier.

By the way, an interesting alternative to blasting drops of molten tin in vacuum is to just build a multimillion dollar synchrotron and use its x-rays for lithography in a fab. This has a whole bunch of other problems, but it's an idea that engineers are seriously considering.

The electrons' paths bend when they get close to another electron or ionized atom, and emit synchrotron radiation that is just at the right energy to be absorbed by another electron not far away. Since the density is so low, blackbody radiation that escapes must be very dim.

It is more related to the needed strength of the magnets to keep the particles on track and also the synchrotron radiation. The first issue is that the lower the radius of the circle, the stronger magnetic field is needed because of the increased centrifugal forces. The second issue is that synchrotron radiation leads to loss of energy.

I'm not sure why you're bringing up synchrotron radiation in particular. Although it's important for some sources, it's not driving the majority of what is being seen here. Comptonization is important for active black holes. The radiation from the milky way has strong emission lines - it's not a synchrotron spectrum.

There are interesting ideas to downsize synchrotrons though, and if we can both make synchrotrons smaller and semiconductor factories bigger, then perhaps synchrotron sources could make sense. But even then, I worry that if a $20 billion semiconductor plant has only one $1 billion synchrotron source, there is a tremendous amount of risk concentrated in that single source.

Used the americium from a smoke detector as a source, after several abortive attempts to build a synchrotron... The third time you wind several km of copper just to end up melting it is the last time, it turns out - particularly after you explain to your parents what exactly it is you're trying to do.

Such progress is to a large extent coupled to the advances in many other fields, such as genetic engineering, computer technology, availability of synchrotron beam lines and many other techniques, creating the highly interdisciplinary science of macromolecular crystallography. Due to this unprecedented success crystallography is often treated as one of the analytical methods and practiced by researchers interested in structures of macromolecules, but not highly competent in the procedures involved in the process of structure determination.
