Scientific paper

Possibilities are evaluated for using synchrotron radiation as an intensity standard for the vacuum-UV region, particularly in the wavelength range from 300 to 2000 A. Synchrotron-radiation theory is reviewed, results are summarized for calibration experiments in the VUV region using synchrotron radiation, and the efficacy of electron storage rings as possible VUV intensity standards is evaluated. It is shown that synchrotron radiation from electron storage rings can be employed to achieve 'optical' accuracies of about + or - 0.5% for absolute calibration of spectroscopic equipment in the VUV region for wavelengths longward of approximately 400 A.
