If we apply this to a ring such as SPEAR3 with a bend radius of 7.86 m and an
energy of 3 GeV, we find that the energy loss per turn is about 0.91 MeV or about
0.03% of the total electron energy. Since electrons are traveling around the ring more
than a million times per second, they would quickly be lost from a stable orbit
without energy replenishment in the rf cavities.
3.3.3 The Critical Energy: E c
The energy distribution of power in the synchrotron radiation spectrum is defined by
the critical energy E c , which is the photon energy at which half of the power is below
and half is above. Our qualitative derivation predicted that the typical photon energy
would vary as γ
3 /ρ. More precisely, the critical frequency is ω c ¼ 3γ
3 c/2ρ, and the
critical energy is given in Eq. 3.13. The position of E c in a synchrotron spectrum was
shown in Fig. 1.2.

3.3.4 The Bend Magnet Spectrum
The polarization and energy spectrum for a bend magnet depend on the observation
angle. If we use the variable X ¼ γψ to capture the beam energy and observation
angle (Fig. 3.4), then the overall result is that for a storage ring with a current I and
bend radius ρ, the angle-dependent σ and π components of the photon flux ℱ are
given by (as derived in Kim[67]):
