Abstract
Electron storage rings as synchrotron radiation sources are presently the most powerful x-ray sources in the energy range between 0.53 keV, the "water window" for microscopy of biological molecules, and 33.16 keV, the K-edge of iodine for a possible coronary angiography. However, with the advent of modern electron accelerators delivering high current low emittance electron beams with energies up to a few GeV it was realized that they may present also attractive sources of intense x rays. In this contribution we report on the investigation of resonant transition radiation in the x-ray region (XTR), and parametric x-ray radiation (PXR) as such x-ray sources. The experiments have been performed with the low emittance (3 it nm rad) 855 MeV electron beam of the Mainz Microtron MAMI....
