The 10 GeV CHEER electron storage ring will produce more than 1 MW of synchrotron radiation per turn with photon energies extending from the far infrared to the hard X-ray region. The critical energy of the synchrotron radiation spectrum will be 22 keV.Applications of hard X-rays to materials analysis are described and a discussion of some of the problems which will be encountered in implementing a synchrotron radiation facility at CHEER is presented.

The evolution of synchrotron radiation (SR) sources and related sciences is discussed to explain the ‘generation’ of the SR sources. Most of the contemporary SR sources belong to the third generation, where the storage rings are optimized for the use of undulator radiation. The undulator development allowed to reduction of the electron energy of the storage ring necessary for delivering 10 keV X-rays from the initial 6–8 GeV to the current 3 Gev. Now is the transitional period from the double-bend-achromat lattice-based storage ring to the multi-bend-achromat lattice to achieve much smaller electron beam emittance. Free electron lasers are the other important accelerator-based light sources which recently reached hard X-ray regime by using self-amplified spontaneous emission scheme. Future accelerator-based X-ray sources should be continuous wave X-ray free electron lasers and pulsed X-ray free electron lasers. Some pathways to reach the future case are discussed. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Fifty years of synchrotron science: achievements and opportunities’.

Dramatic advances in synchrotron radiation sources produce ever-brighter beams of X-rays, but those advances can only be used if there is a corresponding improvement in X-ray detectors. With the advent of storage ring sources capable of being diffraction-limited (down to a certain wavelength), advances in detector speed, dynamic range and functionality is required. While many of these improvements in detector capabilities are being pursued now, the orders-of-magnitude increases in brightness of diffraction-limited storage ring sources will require challenging non-incremental advances in detectors. This article summarizes the current state of the art, developments underway worldwide, and challenges that diffraction-limited storage ring sources present for detectors.

Femtosecond electron bunches can be generated from a system consisting of an RF gun with a thermionic cathode, an alpha magnet, and a linear accelerator and can be used to produce femtosecond (fs) electromagnetic radiation pulses. At the Fast Neutron Research Facility (FNRF), Thailand, we are especially interested in production in Far-infrared (FIR) and x-radiation. In the far-infrared, radiation is emitted coherently for wavelengths which are longer than the electron bunch length, yielding intense radiation. Although, the x-rays emitted are incoherent, its femtosecond time scale is crucial for development of a femtosecond x-ray source.

The highly-collimated, intense X-rays produced by a synchrotron radiation source can be harnessed to build high-resolution powder diffraction instruments with a wide variety of applications. The general advantages of using synchrotron radiation for powder diffraction are discussed and illustrated with reference to the structural characterisation of crystalline materials, atomic PDF analysis, in-situ and high-throughput studies where the structure is evolving between successive scans, and the measurement of residual strain in engineering components.

Residual stresses of a copper bicrystal were measured by X-ray diffraction and synchrotron radiation. A copper bicrystal specimen with a 90-degree tilt boundary was fabricated by the Brigdman technique. After the plastic extension of 30%, kink bands developed in a deformed matrix along the grain boundary. In this study, we focused on the residual stress distribution along the transverse direction of the specimen surface and the residual stresses in deformed matrix and kink band near the grain boundary. Residual stresses were evaluated by the X-ray single crystal measurement method. Stereographic projections were used to determine crystal orientations of deformed regions. It was found that crystal orientations were different between the deformed matrix and the kink band. Residual stresses in the direction along the grain boundary were compressive in the vicinity of the boundary and tensile in the region apart from the boundary. Residual stresses in the kink band were large in compression in compared with those in the deformation matrix. The difference in the results between X-rays and synchrotron radiation suggests that there is a depth variation in the deformation and therefore the residual stress development.
