The Wien filter (IMAGE)
Caption
A Wien filter with a maximum voltage of ±60 kV and a maximum magnetic field of 0.3 T was added after the switching magnet to lower the detection background for the low abundance nuclides.
Researchers at the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) have significantly enhanced the method of detecting iron-60 (60Fe), a rare isotope found in lunar samples, using the HI-13 tandem accelerator. This achievement paves the way of detecting 60Fe in lunar samples for a deeper understanding of cosmic events like supernovae that occurred millions of years ago. https://doi.org/10.1007/s41365-024-01453-x
