Cosmotron Images

Cosmotron Van de GraaffThe Van de Graaff accelerator, which gave the initial acceleration to protons injected into the Cosmotron, is shown here without the steel tank which normally enclosed it during operation.
 

Cosmotron vacuum chamberThe vacuum chamber is seen here between magnet sections (bottom crouching figure) along with a portion of the concrete radiation shielding needed when the Cosmotron was in operation. 
 

Cosmotron injection systemThe Cosmotron injection system began with the Van de Graaf accelerator tank seen in the foreground at left. Protons were injected from the tank into the accelerator via a vacuum pipe.
 

Cosmotron constructionDuring the Cosmotron's assembly in 1950, the magnet blocks are placed on the circular foundation.
Additional Cosmotron images are available here.
 


DOE, Office of ScienceOne of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
