A powerful magnet from an MRI machine at the University of Queensland’s Centre for Advanced Imaging will begin a new life in Switzerland as part of an experiment investigating the foundations of the universe.
The 4特斯拉磁铁将安装在世界首屈一指的物理实验室CERN - 著名的大型强子对撞机的故乡。
利物浦大学核物理学教授罗伯特·佩奇(Robert Page)在CERN ISOLDE工厂进行了研究,他说,该磁铁将被重建是为了特殊目的。
佩奇教授说:“在磁铁的中心,我们将放置一个由含有氢的薄塑料箔制成的目标。”
“该靶标将被不稳定核的高能梁轰击,并且发射的离子将被磁场弯曲到我们用于测量其能量的检测器上。
The measurements will allow scientists to learn about the forces at work inside原子核。
“我们研究了将中子和质子与它们相反的强大力量之间的这种微妙的相互作用所产生的。”
“This will give us insights into the fundamental forces of nature and the creation of elements in exploding stars.”
高级成像中心主任戴维·鲁森斯(David Reutens)教授说,磁铁对新发现很有用。
Reutens教授说:“这款MRI机器的磁铁自2001年以来一直处于许多研究计划的最前沿。”
“The 4T scanner was the most advanced for its time.”
Some of the successful projects include researching communication recovery for stroke victims, studying dopamine effects as well as studying memory and behaviour.
新的成像研究将在CAI上进行7t“超级扫描仪”该它于去年安装,并大大改善了大脑,心脏和关节疾病的研究。
