TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the GALPROP code for cosmic-ray propagation to calculate the broad-band luminosity spectrum of the Milky Way related to CR propagation and interactions in the interstellar medium.
Abstract: We use the GALPROP code for cosmic-ray (CR) propagation to calculate the broad-band luminosity spectrum of the Milky Way related to CR propagation and interactions in the interstellar medium. This includes gamma-ray emission from the production and subsequent decay of neutral pions, bremsstrahlung, and inverse Compton scattering, and synchrotron radiation. The Galaxy is found to be nearly a CR electron calorimeter, but {\it only} if gamma ray emitting processes are taken into account. Synchrotron radiation alone accounts for only one third of the total electron energy losses with ~10-20% of the total synchrotron emission from secondary CR electrons and positrons. The relationship between far-infrared and radio luminosity that we find from our models is consistent with that found for galaxies in general. The results will be useful for understanding the connection between diffuse emissions from radio through gamma rays in ``normal'' (non-AGN dominated) galaxies, as well as for estimating the broad-band extragalactic diffuse background from these kinds of galaxies.

TL;DR: In this paper, a helical wiggler was proposed as an improved source of synchrotron radiation from high-energy electron storage rings, where electrons were made to travel in a short period helix by a transverse helical magnetic field.
Abstract: A new kind of wiggler is proposed as an improved source of synchrotron radiation from high‐energy electron storage rings. The electrons are made to travel in a short‐period helix by a transverse helical magnetic field. The radiation spectrum produced is calculated and it is shown that the helical wiggler design could produce a total intensity (photons sec−1 per unit bandwidth) improvement of several hundred and a brightness (photons sec−1 per solid angle per unit bandwidth) improvement of 4×104 over the present state of the art in synchrotron radiation sources.

TL;DR: An Introduction to Synchrotron Radiation as mentioned in this paper offers a guide to the basic concepts of the generation and manipulation of synchroron light, its interaction with matter, and the application in x-ray scattering, spectroscopy and imaging.
Abstract: Synchrotron light is recognized as an invaluable research tool by a broad spectrum of scientists, ranging from physicists to biologists and archaeologists. The comprehensively revised second edition of An Introduction to Synchrotron Radiation offers a guide to the basic concepts of the generation and manipulation of synchrotron light, its interaction with matter and the application of synchrotron light in x-ray scattering, spectroscopy, and imaging.
