Abstract
Storage rings for electrons or positions provide unique experimental conveniences to observe synchrotron radiation. Several experiments concerning this radiation have been made on AdA, the Italian storage ring, while it was at Orsay. The first bears on the total power radiated as a function of the energy of the radiating particles, the second is a direct check of the spectral law and the third is a measurement of the angular distribution of the radiation at three different energies. On the other hand, synchrotron radiation can be used to get valuable information on the structure of the stored beams; we describe a measurement of the transverse particle density within the beams at various energies and a measurement of the length of the bunches. All experimental results are compared to theoretical predictions: the agreement is, on the whole, very satisfactory.
