Français : Synchrotron Soleil: schéma de principe

English: Synchrotron Soleil: general diagram

The circular ring is the synchrotron, i.e. a particle accelerator that brings electrons to very high speeds. The synchrotron emits a "synchrotron radiation", especially X-rays; these are sent into the various beamlines (the straight lines branching out of the synchrotron). Each beamline contains scientific instruments, experiments etc. and receives an intense beam of radiation.

Deutsch: Schema des französichen Synchrotron Soleil

Der abgebildete große Ring ist das Synchrotron, ein Teilchenbeschleuniger, der Elektronen auf Geschwindigkeiten, nahe der Lichtgeschwindigkeit bringt. Das innere Oval ist eine Strecke zur Vorbeschleunigung, in der das Elektron bereits über 99% der Lichtgeschwindigkeit erreicht. In den acht "Armen" befinden sich wissenschaftliche Geräte, die die Bremsstrahlung der in Kurven abgelenkten Elektronen auffängen und analysieren.
