Abstract:
The Tristan Main Ring (MR) at KEK (High Energy Accelerator Research Organization) has been used as a third-generation synchrotron radiation ring with an undulator installed in the MR as a third-generation light source. The magnetic field irregularities of the undulator were examined precisely. Measurement of the magnetic field after synchrotron radiation experiments showed that the magnetic irregularities in both the horizontal and vertical directions are negligibly small. This result suggests that our previous estimates of emittance, made using the measured undulator spectrum, should correctly represent the properties of the electron beam in the MR.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
