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.
