Design considerations for parasitic use of synchrotron radiation in the infrared

Computer calculations are used to generate a feasibility study for the parasitic utilization of infrared radiation from a synchrotron radiation source. The calculations demonstrate that intercepting all but 4 to 6 mrad of the central cone will result in the hard radiation passing through an aperture with negligible loss in the intensity of the hard radiation and at the same time the long wavelength radiation will be effectively intercepted.
