In order to obtain a circulatory trajectory in a particle accelerator, magnets are used to deviate the electron beam. The beam losts energy which is emitted at the exterior of the accelerator, in a form of light, in a variety of wavelength, going from the infrared to the X-rays: this is the synchrotron radiation. This film recounts the use of the synchrotron radiation, from 1962 to 2000.
