China Magnets Source Material Limited has been committing to working with various research institutions around the world. We supply them high-quality rare-earth magnets. CERN is one of them. They use neodymium and samarium cobalt magnets on accelerators.

What is CERN?

CERN is a non-profit European intergovernmental organization with 22 member states plus 8 associate members. As the biggest scientist machine in the world, it is prestige and has 7000 physicists from more than 500 research institutes worldwide use the CERN installations for their experiments. CERN invented the World Wide Web (www) and found the Higgs Boson. Therefore, it’s also a great honor to work with CERN.

In the past, the use of permanent magnets in the CERN Accelerator Complex was marginal. In the recent years, new projects use more and more permanent rare earth magnets for accelerator.

Customer Acceptance Tests in Our Factory

According to above requirements, our QC technician tested all magnets one by one. At the same time, the customer watched the test process. And we also truthfully answered the questions raised by the customers during the test.

At last, all smco magnets are passed the test completely. Upon client’s request, every samarium cobalt magnet is marked with number to correspond to each test report. After a period of accommodation and cooperation, our magnets have been successfully applied in the accelerator for CERN.
