MSU/FSU Consortium Development of a Compact Sweeper Magnet for Neutron Coincidence Experiments at the NSCL

这笔赠款将支持密歇根州立大学国家超导回旋加速器实验室的一个重要的新增加的建设。 这将包括一个4特斯拉的紧凑型超导清扫磁铁，用于放射性束实验，这将使沿着“中子滴线”产生不稳定核成为可能。 这种新的扫掠器磁体与现有的5800摄谱仪相结合，将允许同时对这些核衰变中产生的碎片和中子进行高分辨率的动量分布测量。 这种磁铁还将使对“质子滴线”附近不稳定核的新研究成为可能。

This grant will support the construction of an important new addition to the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. This will consist of a 4 Tesla compact superconducting sweeper magnet for radio active beam experiments, which will make possible the production of unstable nuclei along the "neutron dripline". The combination of this new sweeper magnet, together with the existing 5800 spectrograph, will allow simultaneous high resolution momentum distribution measurements of the fragments and neutrons produced in the decay of these nuclei. The magnet will also make possible new studies of unstable nuclei near the "proton dripline".
