Portable Synchrotron Light Sources and Advanced Applications : International Symposium on Portable Synchrotron Light Sources and Advanced Applications - International Symposium on Portable Synchrotron Light Sources and Advanced Applications (2004 ed.)

Synchrotron radiation has led to many innovations in material and life sciences.

The construction of huge facilities such as SPring-8 was a trend in the 20th century.

Recently, big efforts have been made to downsize the light source.

It is expected that powerful portable X-ray sources will change the paradigm of the X-ray business and open up completely new research fields that were impossible before.
