Particle Accelerator Fragment

Particle Accelerator Fragment

    Item #343


    This is a section of the cooling coils, seen here in yellow, of the beam-steering magnets of the Aladdin electron storage ring, a synchrotron particle accelerator.

    From the 1980s until 2014, this machine produced synchrotron radiation for physics experiments.

    Synchrotron radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is produced when charged particles, such as electrons, are accelerated to near-light speeds and then forced to change direction by a magnetic field. This phenomenon occurs within particle accelerators, where electrons are propelled through a vacuum tube and directed around a circular or elliptical track using powerful electromagnets.

    As these high-energy particles bend along the accelerator’s magnetic trajectory, they emit synchrotron radiation across a broad spectrum, ranging from infrared to X-rays. The intensity and versatility of synchrotron radiation make it an invaluable tool for a wide range of scientific and medical research, enabling detailed studies of materials, biological structures, and chemical processes. By providing a powerful and highly controllable source of electromagnetic radiation, synchrotrons facilitate groundbreaking investigations into the fundamental properties of matter and the universe.

    I cannot wait to use this next year during accelerators! Such a wonderful artifact to add to the teaching collection!

    WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY

    You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.

    We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.

    With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.

    Believe in yourself; for everything else, there's science.
