Infrastructure Magnetism

Infrastructure - Magnetism

Investigations of various aspects of magnetism can be conducted on all neutron-scattering instruments at OPAL.

Investigating radiation in the air we breathe

Radioactive radon gas is a decay product of uranium and thorium, which are found naturally in rocks, soil and building materials. Radon is a significant component of background radiation and can accumulate in poorly ventilated indoor environments. In this data set, we investigated the effect of charging a balloon, which was then hung in an enclosed space, on its level of radioactivity.

Students will:

  • Write a hypothesis, graph data, write a conclusion
  • Use provided information to answer questions about radioactivity and radon
  • Discuss experimental design, accuracy, validity and reliability

Study of polar ice confirms carbon-climate feedback

Investigators have verified and quantified the relationship between the Earth’s land biosphere and changes in temperature and provided evidence that temperature impacts the cycling of carbon between land, ocean and the atmosphere.
