Know about the book -

Handbook on Synchrotron Radiation is written by G.V. Marr and published by Elsevier. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1483290638 (ISBN 10) and 9781483290638 (ISBN 13).

Volume 2 of this series concentrates on the use of synchrotron radiation which covers that region of the electromagnetic spectrum which extends from about 10eV to 3keV in photon energy and is essentially the region where the radiation is strongly absorbed by atmospheric gases. It therefore has to make extensive use of a high vacuum to transport the radiation to the workstation where the presence of hard X-rays can cause extensive damage to both the optics and the targets used in the experimental rigs. The topics chosen for this volume have been limited to the disciplines of physics and chemistry.
