Abstract
High energy electrons subjected to large radial accelerations radiate considerable energy in the optical spectrum. The distribution of energy in the light from a synchrotron beam has been measured and compared with theory at several electron energies up to 80 Mev. The results indicate reasonable agreement with theory. Measurement of total light output allowed an estimate of electron current in the beam. High speed photography of the light permitted observation of the size and motion of the beam within the accelerator tube.Keywords
