An extremely low magnetic field laboratory is under construction at the Széchenyi István Geophysical Observatory of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Nagycenk Geophysical Observatory, IAGA code: NCK). The local DC-ULF range geomagnetic field is to be reduced in the focus chamber of the Lab by means of active compensation and passive shielding techniques to an extremely low lewel of 100 pT. The Laboratory shall offer a unique opportunity for extremely low field experiments such as: simulation of the electromagnetic conditions of interplanetary space environment; facilitating the development of the so called SERF magnetometer; calibration of search coils applied in space technology for magnetospheric and/or interplanetary magnetic field measurements on satellites; performing biophysical material science experiments like alloy production technologies in zero magnetic field environment. |
