Images from the CSB experiment

• A picture of the beam line coming in from the left toward the target region. In front, one of the lead-glass arrays (with cables coming out the right side) is rolled back.
• A picture of the crucial separation region where the ⁴He nuclei are removed from the circulating deuteron beam. The beam line is horizontal across the picture. The ⁴He nuclei are removed into a magnetic channel that bends away to the rear.
• A close-up picture of the separation region. Detectors mounted diagonally on the left monitor the luminosity (how much beam hits the deuterium gas target) during the experiment as well as the profile of the gas jet target. The nest of plumbing on the right are the water-cooled leads for the septum magnet leading into the channel that captures the ⁴He nuclei.
• A picture taken from the end of the magnetic channel line where the ⁴He nuclei were captured after the fusion process. The diagonal faces inside the pipe are the vacuum box walls inside the focussing quadrupole magnets that confine the ⁴He nuclei.
• A picture of the target box with the side open. This is the area, just above the copper nozzle that is partially visible, where the deuterium gas jet crossed the deuteron beam circulating in the electron-cooled storage ring and the fusion reaction took place.
• A picture of the extraction beam line (slanted upward) that carried the deuteron beam out of the injector synchrotron on its way to the electron-cooled storage ring.
