LINEAR ACCELERATOR CENTER 1999: Measurement: 10 billion electrons accelerated to 30 GeV and focused into 18micrometer times 10 micrometer The following movies show particles beams generated in 1999 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in the USA. About 10 billion electrons were accelerated to 30 GeV and confined to a small transverse area, smaller than the transverse cross section of a human hair. The movies were recorded from the light emitted when the ultra-relativistic electrons traversed a thin target. Several stages in beam tuning for the Plasma Wakefield Experiment E-157 are documented. Copyright of the movies is held by the E-157 collaboration (LBNL, SLAC, UCLA, USC), R. Assmann et al. |
