Lighting the way to the future: An anthology of improvements, developments, and research by NSLS staff and collaborators

摘要

A synchrotron radiation facility such as the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory supports a very wide range of science which is dependent on the breadth of the electromagnetic spectrum which is generated. Scientists from many disciplines use radiation from the far infra-red (lambda = 12 mm, Energy = 0.1 meV) through to extreme gamma rays (lambda = 4 fm, Energy = 300 MeV). This collection of papers shows the scope of past work by NSLS staff and their collaborators, serves as a reminder of their achievements and as an indicator of the range, quality, and quantity of work which is required to maintain a scientific user facility at the cutting edge.
