Synchrotron, The
- Synopsis
- Introduces the synchrotron - a complex machine that produces synchrotron radiation. The video deals in turn with: applications - analysis (medical, DNA/genome project, mining and minerals, forensic science) and manufacturing (nano-technology); basic design - electron gun (thermionic emission), linac (linear accelerator), booster ring (F= evB equation introduced), storage ring, beamlines, experimental workstations; synchrotron radiation - the electromagnetic spectrum, basic properties of synchrotron radiation, comparison with laser light; interaction with materials (theory) - importance of x-rays, three types of x-ray use in a synchrotron, x-ray scattering (elastic - Thompson and inelastic - Compton), diffraction defined, light theory (light as a particle and wave), basis for Bragg’s law; interaction with materials (results) - 2D to 3D puzzle analogy, diffraction patterns (analogy explanation), example: double helix, crystallization, diffuse scattering (small/wide angle scattering).
