Spherical magnet structure and use thereof in synchrotron radiation source

摘要

An equatorial gap is disposed into a magnet structure of spherical configuration, about the periphery thereof. The magnet structure includes a spherical shell of one magnetic material and a core of another magnetic material disposed centrally therein, with the gap penetrating into the shell. A source of synchrotron radiation is derived by combining the magnet structure with an apparatus for introducing charge particles into the gap wherein a magnetic field influences the particles to travel in circular paths.
