In the summer of 1972, I had the privilege and responsibility of
organizing a Gordon Conference on the "High-Energy Spectroscopy of
Solids." The Thursday evening session focused on future directions
for high-energy spectroscopy. The possibilities associated with
synchrotron radiation for future research became a central issue. I
was asked to choose the members of the panel and chair the session.
Although all five members of the panel went on to have
distinguished careers using synchrotron radiation, at the time some
of them were skeptical about the future role of synchrotron
radiation sources in high-energy photon spectroscopy. The
discussion became heated, and many members of the audience spoke,
both pro and con. One member of the panel produced a detailed
argument that synchrotron radiation would never rival standard
X-ray tubes. We found out that there were estimates for properties
of synchrotrons that differed by orders of magnitude from those of
X-ray tubes. That much uncertainty was expressed at a meeting that
took place less than twenty years ago. It is hard to believe that,
even though at that time synchrotron radiation was already being
used for photoemission studies of solids and surfaces and
intershell excitations in solids, the potential impact and
importance of this area was not fully realized even by the experts.
Today synchrotron radiation is one of the primary tools for
studying surfaces, and synchrotron radiation has affected many
other areas of condensed-matter physics---even superconductivity.
