Collimator Cave

• 

  This is where the photon beam first enters Hall D. The tagger hall is 17 meters upstream.

• 

  This is the apparatus that will hold the active collimator.

  A pic of me next to the future home of the active collimator. Photo credit to Sascha.

• 

  You can see the collimating hole through which the photon beam will travel in this pic; it is 3.4 mm in diameter, and is comprised of a 30 cm long tungsten block. There is also a 5 mm diameter hole (to the left).

• 

  The backside of the collimator in the previous pic.

• 

  A 0.8 T permanent magnet which is used to the various particles (positrons, electrons, compton, showers, etc) from the result of collimation.

• 

  A downstream shot of the collimator cave. That's Sascha on the right.

• 

  A piece of equipment to eliminate the secondary photon "halo" around the photon beam.

• 

  A second magnet.

• 

  This is where the collimated beam will exit the second magnet.

  The collimated beam will travel through this opening to the main room of Hall D, where the Barrel Calorimeter (BCAL) and Forward Calorimeter (FCAL) are located.
