Description
I will present the case for performing experiments with hard X-ray synchrotron radiation. The spectral brightness of existing undulator-based storage rings in the hard X-rays regime is limiting the applications above ~30 keV where the beam coherence becomes small. This results in limitations of the flux available for many experiments. In particular, X-ray imaging could benefit from the availability of intense coherent beams in this energy range but also scattering experiments will gain tremendously when penetration power and a wide range of accessible momentum transfer are required.
