Synchrotron to storage rings … Spectral continuity is certainly a crucial asset of synchrotron radiation. Scientists can select the wavelength best adapted to their study using the beamline monochromator, and they are able to modify their selection during the experiment. 1, record 1, English, - spectral%20continuity

[…] principales caractéristiques du rayonnement synchrotron […] La continuité spectrale, de l’infrarouge lointain jusqu’aux rayons X, est exceptionnelle et n’est atteinte par aucune autre source sur une aussi large plage de longueurs d’onde. Ainsi il est possible d’avoir accès à des longueurs d’onde difficilement accessibles autrement, comme les rayons X mous (énergie autour du keV [kiloélectronvolt]) et l’ultraviolet proche ([lambda supérieur à] 105 nm [nanomètres]) et lointain ([lambda inférieur à] 105 nm). 1, record 1, French, - continuit%C3%A9%20spectrale

Sur certains canaux, on place, immédiatement en sortie, un dispositif de sélection de l'énergie des neutrons. Il s'agit soit d'un «monochromateur» cristallin qui va effectuer une réflexion sélective du faisceau (dans le plan horizontal dit plan expérimental), soit plus rarement d'un dispositif mécanique tournant autour d'un axe orthogonal au faisceau («chopper» de Fermi). Les monochromateurs cristallins sont des monocristaux souvent en graphite pyrolitique, plus rarement en germanium, silicium ou cuivre écroui. Parfois, on utilise la technique particulière, rigide mais bon marché. 1, record 2, French, - monochromateur%20cristallin

The Very High Resolution Spectrometer. The 6. 65 m off-plane Eagle spectrometer connected to the Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility(SURF II) electron storage ring at the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) is one of the two very high resolution spectrometers(VHRS) in the world that combine a synchrotron radiation light source with photoelectric detection of vacuum ultraviolet spectra. Spectra are obtained over a usable range from approximately 20 nm to 200 nm by scanning the exit slit of the spectrometer at wavelength intervals as small as 0. 1 pm in first order. The beamline leading to the entrance slit of the VHRS includes three cylindrical uncoated glass mirrors with incident angles of 80, 70, and 80 degrees from the normal to provide a converging beam to match the f/number of the instrument which is about f/50. Since 1990, when the three-mirror light collection system was improved, a number of high resolution measurements have been made in the region between 40 nm and 120 nm. 2, record 4, English, - very%20high%20resolution%20spectrometer
