Abstract:
The infrared synchrotron radiation emitted from a bending magnet of the third generation storage ring ELETTRA is studied in detail by ray-tracing techniques. Constant magnetic-field and edge infrared emissions are taken into account in the project of the bending vacuum chamber and on the beamline design. Moreover the gain in flux and brightness with respect to a conventional source of the infrared radiation are calculated and discussed.
