Experiment at the Cosmotron

1954. A Brookhaven Lab physicist readies a piece of plastic which will be bombarded by billion-volt protons in the Cosmotron at Brookhaven National Laboratory. When the rectangular slab is moved tightly against the rectangular groove, air is pumped out of the small chamber. An operator in the control room can then set up automatic equipment which, after the Cosmotron is started up, will push the target into the path of the protons as they circulate in the vacuum chamber (left). Fragments of the nuclei target atoms are trapped in research equipment for studies of the structure and properties of the atomic nucleus. The Cosmotron ceased to operate December 31, 1966.
