Properties of Synchrotron Radiation
- Broad Spectrum (which covers from microwaves to hard X-rays): the users can select the wavelength required for their experiment.
- High Flux: high intensity photon beam allows rapid experiments or use of weakly scattering crystals.
- High Brilliance: highly collimated photon beam generated by a small divergence and small size source (spatial coherence)
- High Stability: submicron source stability
- Polarization: both linear and circular
- Pulsed Time Structure: pulsed length down to tens of picoseconds allows the resolution of process on the same time scale.

“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Even the bomb merely releases energy that nature has put there. Nuclear war would be just a spark in the grandeur of space. Nor can radiation “alter” nature: she will absorb it all. After the bomb, nature will pick up the cards we have spilled, shuffle them, and begin her game again.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
