DescriptionEl esqueleto de un acelerador.jpg |
Español: Los aceleradores de partículas son herramientas fundamentales de la Física, no sólo para el descubrimiento de nuevas formas de materia, sino también para el tratamiento de tumores, para la autentificación de obras de arte, e incluso para reproducir reacciones que sólo suceden en las estrellas. La fotografía muestra el esqueleto de un acelerador lineal de iones de cinco millones de voltios. La aceleración de los iones se logra gracias a la multiplicación del voltaje obtenida con un circuito en cadena, a través del cual se acumula carga eléctrica en los anillos de corona destacados en la imagen. La fotografía fue tomada en el interior del tanque de aceleración, que en condiciones normales está lleno de un gas aislante para evitar la aparición de descargas, y que obliga a realizar el mantenimiento en condiciones especiales de seguridad. Para acceder al tanque es preciso atravesar una estrecha escotilla y deslizarse por debajo de los anillos para evitar dañar los mismos. Los aceleradores se abren en contadas ocasiones y desde su montaje ha habido que esperar diez años para poder volver ver las entrañas de este complejo y singular instrumento al servicio de la Ciencia. English: The photograph shows the skeleton of a five-million-volt linear ion accelerator. The acceleration of the ions is achieved thanks to the multiplication of the voltage obtained with a chain circuit, through which electrical charge accumulates in the corona rings highlighted in the image. The photograph was taken inside the acceleration tank, which under normal conditions is filled with an insulating gas to prevent the appearance of discharges, and which requires maintenance to be carried out under special safety conditions. To access the tank it is necessary to go through a narrow hatch and slide under the rings to avoid damaging them. The accelerators are opened on rare occasions and since their assembly, we have had to wait ten years to be able to see the insides of this complex and unique instrument at the service of Science. |
