spacer spacer What a View
Large Hadron Collider Dipoles at CERN. This goes on for ~27 kilometers interrupted by rf-stations and large detector regions.
spacer MSU cyclotron
This photo shows the central region and most of the beam chamber of the K500 superconducting cyclotron at MSU. The cyclotron uses spiral sectors for isochronous acceleration.
spacer Michigan State University Cyclotron
This photo shows the central region and most of the beam chamber of the K1200 cyclotron central region at MSU. The cyclotron uses spiral sectors for isochronous acceleration.
spacer Inside VENUS
VENUS is an intense Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source that injects the 88" cyclotron at the Berkeley Lab. One can see the sextupole magnet structure that produces a minimum B-field configuration to confine the plasma from which the beam is extracted.

How FERMI FEL works

FERMI is the free electron laser (FEL) facility located in the research centre Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, Italy. This video shows its basic components and functioning, in the specific configuration of externally seeded FEL (High Gain Harmonic Generation), from the electron gun through the linear accelerator and the undulator, to the photon beamlines.
