March 16, 2001:
Outer containment vessel, prior to final assembly.
Outer containment vessel, showing the baseplate prior to installation of the window test modules.
Outer containment vessel, another view.
View through the lexan window, of the mounting hardware for the window test modules. The optic axis is perpendicular to the proton beam axis, and is primarly for the mercury tests.
The 5 double window test modules being installed in the outer containment vessel. Each double window unit has a thermocouple vacuum gauge protruding to the left, and a brass shutoff valve pointing upwards.
Exploded drawing of a double window module.
Another view of the 5 double window test modules.
The 5 strain sensor modules, prior to final assembly.
Closeup view of the havar window + strain sensors. The window is clamped between a pair of conflat flanges, and 4 fiberoptic strain sensors are glued to the havar to form a kind of quadrant detector.
FISO fiberooptic strain sensors.
Another view of the 5 double window modules.
The four 18" extension tubes, prior to assembly. Each has a double window module at one end.
Yet another view of the 5 double window test modules. (Maybe the best view.) The two ports in the outer containment vessel for the proton beam can be seen in the upper part of the picture.
Four strain sensor modules being mounted in proton line 2.
Completed assembly of 5 double window modules and 5 strain sensor modules. We are testing 0.010" Al, 0.011" havar, 0.013" Ti90Al6V4, 1mm inconel 718 and 6mm inconel 718. The proton beam will enter from the upper right. Our line 1 contains the Al strain sensor + the 5 double window units; line 2 contains the havar, Ti and inconel strain sensor modules.
Drawing of the window test setup. The proton beam enters from the left.
Another view of the competed window test assembly. The proton beam enters from the upper left.
Another view of the competed window test assembly. The proton beam enters from the left.
TV monitor view of the window test box being hoisted onto the x-y mover + Chuck Finfrock.
The window test box on the x-y mover, + George Greene.
The optical fiber from the 20W diode laser, + field lens and first mirror. Chuck Finfrock in back.
The window test box on the x-y mover. The beam flag is at left center; the SWIC (segmented wire ion chamber) and picture frame loss monitor are at right center.
The window test box on the x-y mover. The last quad and the SWIC are at left center.
Another view of the window test box on the x-y mover.
The Yokogawa digital scope used to read out the strain sensors. DL700 specs.
Strain sensor data. Upper trace = the beam current transformer just upstream of the target box. Lower trace = data from a fiberoptic strain sensor on the aluminum test window. The horizontal scale has been expanded to 500 ns/div. The beam arrived about 750 ns into the frame.

Jim Tsai, Dave Beshears and the carbon test box during assembly.
The carbon test box with "dummy" graphite rods.
Rick Fernow, Chuck Finfrock, Nick Simos during assembly of the carbon test box.
The completed carbon rod assembly. Line 1 (lower) contains two 12" ATJ graphite rods + strain sensors. Line 2 (upper) contains a 12" ATJ rod + two 4" carbon-carbon composite rods. The proton beam will enter from the right.

The window test box stored in the upstream end of the A3 target cave after the checkout shift of beam.
The carbon test box on the x-y mover, before the 18" extension tubes have been added.
Another view of the carbon test box on the x-y mover.

Carbon rod Strain data. Two sensors located at the middle of a carbon rod, but on opposite sides, show 350 Hz strain signals due to transverse bending that are 180 deg out of phase. The higher frequency components are due to longitudinal waves.
