Schematic
(from Barnber et al.: 1999, Phys. Rev. D, June 14., see
also more detailed diagram (pdf)) |

Last optical table (see also larger version 1322 x 773 size=196,263 bytes).
Third of 3 tables, slab amplifier (top center, but hard to see), anamorphic optics,
vacuum spatial filters (black tube on left, blue tube on right) and
large compression gratings (aluminum and gold objects just to right of center). |

Target chamber. Laser beam enters from top left, comes down pipes on right, collides with electron beam in stainless steel box.
Scattered electrons bend downwards, positrons bend upwards in string of magnets with purple ears.
Wolfram Ragg is adjusting ECAL detector. Theo Kotseroglou is in background on left. (see also

Diagram of interaction region
(from Ehrenstein, D.: 1997, Science 277, 1202)
Electron beam intersects laser pulse, boosting photons to gamma energies and triggering an
interaction that spawns particles. |
