Synchrotron Light Sources and Recent Developments of Accelerator Technology

The main aim of the next-generation synchrotron radiation sources is to provide diffraction-limited undulator radiation in the 0.1-4 nm range with an average power of 10-1000 W and monochromaticity of 10^-3-10^-4. A review of new accelerator technologies that could be used for the construction of such types of synchrotron radiation sources is given.
