Popis: Equations are given for the amplitude of light whose plane of polarization is in the synchrotron plane and is perpendicular to it. Measurements were made for both directions of polarization of the angular intensity variation with respect to the synchrotron plane, of the light emitted during acceleration processes of peak energy-700 Mev. Experimental and theoretical intensities are shown graphically. The differences shown in the corresponding curves are due to electron oscillations, radiation band-width. and the finite slit-width, all of these effects being intrinsicallymore pronounced in the perpendicular component. The measurements of magnitude and angular dependence of polarization show good agreement with theory in its general shape. (B.O.G.)
