Aladdin Synchrotron Particle Accelerator Fragment — Authentic Cooling Coil Section
Own a Piece of Particle Physics History
This is an authentic section of the cooling coils (shown in yellow) from the beam-steering magnets of the Aladdin electron storage ring — a synchrotron particle accelerator that operated at the University of Wisconsin's Synchrotron Radiation Center from the 1980s until 2014.
For nearly three decades, Aladdin propelled electrons to near-light speeds, bending their paths with powerful electromagnets to generate synchrotron radiation — a broad-spectrum electromagnetic output spanning infrared to X-rays. That radiation powered groundbreaking research into materials science, biological structures, and chemical processes.
