Jefferson Lab Site Tour
Beam Switchyard Extractor
It is time to choose where an electron will go. By using a device similar to an acceleration cavity, but operated sideways, a group of electrons can be kicked a little bit to the right, a little bit to the left, or not at all. As they travel further down the tunnel, they will get further and further apart.
This tour reflects Jefferson Lab as it was in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In particular, this predates the 12 GeV upgrade and the addition of Hall D. For a modern look at the Lab, please see the Jeffeson Lab Virtual Tour.
