Saudi Arabia successfully Produces first indigenous atomic accelerator
Saudi Arabian scientists have successfully made the first indigenous Atomic Accelerator and is planning to mass produce it and use it in Medical and Nuclear physics research.
The head of the King Abdulaziz City of Science and Technology Dr.Mohammad Al-Syool have overseen the completion of the Electrostatic Atomic Accelerator which was designed and produced by the hands of Saudi researches in the National Center of Physics Laboratories in the Science City.
This accelerator which is the first in the Arab world to be fully indigenous aims to set up a full research laboratory with the highest technological standards which will serve Medical, Industrial and Nuclear and Biological physics laboratory. It also aims to establish a strong nuclear physics scientific base in Saudi Arabia.
This accelerator is different from other atomic accelerators by its ability to to Accelerate and also save all kinds of atoms regardless of their mass which makes it capable of providing more kinds of research including Physics Plasma to Biological specialties. Even organic tissue which now can be studied on an atomic level thanks to this device. Also will give Saudi Arabia huge capabilities in guided energy studies (Lasers, etc..).
Work on this device began in 2009/2010 (1430H) where all necessary studies from basic design to simulation and then prototypes. Building of this device was on two stages the first one was on building an Acceleration system and ion injection savers and the manufacturing of
a 50 Kilo Electron Volt microchip. And the first successful Ionic ray was produced from the device on Wednesday the 25th of Jumada 1433H.
The second stage was building the the Electrostatic saving rings some of which have already been produced while others are under production still and will be completes by year's end.
The mass production of this device will open new windows of scientific research in the country and is planned to be produced for all Nuclear Physics labs in the Kingdom. And in friendly nations in the future.
