Isotope Laboratory of Gansu Province Established

The Isotope Laboratory of Gansu Province, which centers on isotopes and related technologies, was officially established on January 20th in Lanzhou .

Located in the Lanzhou New Area, the laboratory was led by the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and co-constructed by Lanzhou University, Lanzhou University of Technology and a local company of China National Nuclear Corporation in Lanzhou.

The laboratory, which is operated and managed by IMP, will focus on cutting-edge research on the synthesis of superheavy elements and the island of stability, development and demonstration of isotope technologies.

Construction of the laboratory will be finished in two years. After completion, the laboratory will seek mutual cooperation, promote the application of isotopes in industry, medicine and scientific research, propel the expansion of research and development industry of high-end equipment, which will greatly drive local economic growth.

Isotopes are widely used and of high industrial value. According to the prediction of scientists, there are more than 8000 isotopes and so far about 3200 kinds have been found.

Prototype of CCT Superconducting Magnet for HL-LHC Passes Performance Tests

The prototype of canted-cosine-theta (CCT) superconducting magnet, produced by a Chinese team for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), passed performance tests recently, and was shipped to Europe from Tianjin port on September 2. The success of the prototype not only shows the feasibility of domestic technology and process, but also signifies a good start for the subsequent 12 sets of magnets production.

Researchers Propose Unified Equation For Compton Scattering

A research group at the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, have explored the radiation transfer process of photon gas through plasma. The new equation proposed can describe both Compton hardening and softening processes.
