Aims & Objectives

The aim of this chapter is to provide some basic understanding of how a synchrotron works and how its properties are harnessed for powder diffraction.

Specific objectives are:

External Links

On this occasion a fair number of external links have indeed been provided to give access to the web sites of some modern synchrotron sources. This gives a good idea of the world distribution of synchrotron sources but, as always with links, it is easy to spend too much time on them. It is useful to get some ideas about world synchrotron sources, but don't take it too far.
