Particle Accelerator Beam Steering Magnet
This is one of four beam-steering magnets from the renowned Aladdin electron storage ring, a synchrotron particle accelerator.
From the 1980s until 2014, this machine produced synchrotron radiation for high-energy physics experiments. Aladdin was housed at the Synchrotron Radiation Center (SRC), located in Stoughton, Wisconsin and operated by the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
This device was instrumental in particle physics and high-energy research and discoveries for over 3 decades.
For a devoted collector of scientific artifacts, the final magnet from this esteemed machine would make a remarkable addition to any display.
Dimensions: 18.25 x 12 x 6.25"
Weight: 110lb

What is Synchrotron Radiation
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.
