Our Tandem Van de Graaff, injects ions into our superconducting booster linear accelerator (linac). The linac is a radio-frequency accelerator, and by proper selection of the RF phases, can either accelerate or decelerate the beam. This set of photos was taken in September 2008.

Each thumbnail below links to an image about 800 kB in size.

The Tandem beam comes to the Linac...	...and enters the Superbuncher.	The picopulse experiment lives nearby,
The Superbuncher makes the beam pulse only 150 ps long.	Beam steerers get the beam into the Linac proper.	The entire injection region, with focussing quad.
	RF electronics racks and associated cabling.
Cryogenics plumbing on top of the Large Cryostat Modules.		The tower of one Large Cryostat.
More cryogenics plumbing and catwalks above the Linac.		The Large Cryostat Modules hold 12 split-ring resonators in total.
Looking along the Linac, as the beam flies.		Left, the Rebuncher. Above, the high-energy beamline.
The Rebuncher lets us tailor the beam to the experiment.	Cryogenics support and magnet power supplies.
The clean room and general storage is hidden behind the Linac.		The LHe dewar and cryogenics distribution system.
	Big blue magnets...	...steer the beam into the experiments.
	More of the beamline switchyard.
	The beamlines and experimental areas.
Panoramic views of the Linac vault...	...looking towards the ECR and Cryebis areas.
