Default Synchrotron Radiation due to compression, People cannot read.

Below here the radiation is due to a change in direction caused by RE-
COMPRESSING exploding electron bunches.

" The magnets also need to repeatedly recompress the Coulomb-
exploding
space charge electron bunches. The change of direction is a form of
acceleration and thus the electrons emit radiation at GeV
frequencies."

****************************************

This radiation would still occur even if the synchrotron was a
perfeclty straight pipeline (In no way does this relate with the bend
of the synchrotron ring).


Reading a description of ONE WAY to generate synchrotron radiation is
not extrapolable to a statement that this is THE WAY to generate
synchrotron radiation.

This is the problem with reading snippets on the Web. You do not get
the big picture.
