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. What You're Getting Authentic cooling coil fragment from Aladdin's beam-steering magnet assembly Certificate of Authenticity Display case included Individually numbered — Matter Item #343 Artifact year: 1979 Why It Matters Synchrotrons like Aladdin were instrumental in advancing our understanding of the fundamental properties of matter. This fragment is a tangible connection to the machines that made that science possible — a rare artifact for collectors, educators, and physics enthusiasts alike.
