Abstract
Electron or positron storage rings are the most powerful sources of ultra-violet and x-ray photons available to experimentalists interested in spectroscopic and structural studies in condensed matter. The most recent generation of synchrotron radiation sources is characterized by an increase by several orders of magnitude in brilliance. The potentialities opened up by these new machines are illustrated by the results of recent experiments at ESRF in Grenoble.
