Title

Bevatron connecting segment

Description

Injector tank completely open from outside, showing injector nozzle. Mario Carotta fabricating one of the four straight connecting segments of the Bevatron.The Bevatron actually built has four curved and four straight sections. One straight section served to admit the proton beam from a small linear accelerator, which took its feed from a Cockcroft-Walton machine; in the final design, the particles gained 500 keV in the first stage of acceleration and another 9.5 MeV in the second. The other straight section, which, like the first, would have no focusing magnets, was to contain targets and extractors for the accelerated beam. (The preceding information was excerpted from the text of the Fall 1981 issue of LBL Newsmagazine.)
