INVESTIGATION ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SYNCHROTRON-RADIATION EMITTEDBY THE HEFEI 800 MEV SYNCHROTRON-RADIATION FACILITY

Based on Schwinger's theory, the spectral distribution, the angular di stribution and the polarization of the Hefei 800 MeV synchrotron radia tion facility were calculated. The measurement of the spectral distrib ution was carried out in the 300-800 nm range by using a tungsten halo gen spectral irradiance standard source. The polarization and the angu lar distribution were investigated at 405 nm. A good agreement was fou nd between experimental results and values predicted by the theory of synchrotron radiation derived by Schwinger. The difference of the rela tive spectral distribution between experimental and theoretical data i s less than 1.5% in the 300-800 nm region and the difference between t he angular distribution and the polarization is less than 5%.
