TASS, June 6. international Scientists scientific-educational lab of radiation physics, Belgorod state national research University (NRU BelSU) invented a portable x-ray source that can be used on spacecraft in medicine and veterinary medicine, in Geology and in archeological works. Told about this TASS head of the laboratory of radiation physics of NRU BelSU Alexander Kubankin.
“In the framework of the state assignment designed new portable x-ray source. It is made on the same principles, employing ordinary kitchen scales. This is a new method of generating x-ray radiation, it can be used in medicine, archeology, Geology. For example, a geologist will be able to know the composition of the stone was found not in a lab, but right on the spot”, — said Alexander Kubankin.
“in order to generate x-ray radiation, require electricity. We have to connect the device to the outlet. And we figured out how to generate x-ray radiation directly, without the mains — kitchen piezophilic made some modifications, adding a special capsule,” explained the scientist.
Alexander Kubankin explained that this project was one of the main promising in the laboratory of radiation research and technology, which is created at the University of the state task of the Russian Federation on the implementation of research projects. For 2020, according to him, the creation of the laboratory received a grant of 20 million rubles.
“the goal is to do the groundwork in this laboratory to participate in the MegaScience projects, including the project of the NICA Collider is being built in Dubna. In the laboratory exploring new opportunities to develop devices, new approaches for the generation of electromagnetic radiation, including applications in medicine”, — explained the Agency interlocutor.
