On Target (March 1999)

[ Previous Page | Table of Contents | Next Page ] Clean Room Prepares for Accelerator Equipment Processing From left: Peter Kneisel, senior staff scientist; Ricky Campisi, staff scientist; John Mammosser, cavity pair development/production group leader; and Brent Lewis, technician, look over the new equipment. The high-pressure rinse (left) and the closed chemistry cabinets cost about $200,000 each. Getting the equipment into the Clean Room was a tight fit-1-inch of swing clearance! Last summer the Clean Room was renovated and enlarged to handle the new equipment. A Tidewater Crane and Rigging crew moved two new pieces of accelerator component processing equipment into the Test Lab's Clean Room on March 4. The equipment is one of the pieces necessary to build the cryomodules that should help boost the Lab's beam to energies higher than 6 GeV. Peter Kneisel and John Mammosser discuss how the design of the high-pressure rinse cabinet and the closed chemistry cabinet will increase control while processing cryomodule components. This equipment should provide additional control over production variables, helping the Lab to build cryomodules capable of generating higher electron beam energies. maintained by webmaster@jlab.org
