Paul Leon Hartman, a pioneering researcher and Cornell University professor emeritus, died at his home in Ithaca, N.Y., on May 20. He was 91. Hartman was one of the first to investigate the use of x-rays generated as a byproduct of high-energy electron accelerators. In the 1950s, he and colleague Diran Tomboulian measured the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation from an electron beam circulating in a synchrotron, work that was background to the eventual use of high-energy x-ray radiation to study such things as the molecular structure of proteins. This work is carried out in the Cornell High...Read full article

    synchrotron
    A synchrotron is a type of particle accelerator that uses magnetic fields to steer charged particles, typically electrons or positrons, in a closed, circular or elliptical path. The name synchrotron refers to the synchronization of the accelerating electric field with the increasing particle velocity as they move in a circular path. Synchrotrons are powerful tools used in various scientific and industrial applications, particularly in the generation of intense beams of synchrotron radiation. ...
