The team, carrying out the new experiment on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, seen grouped together at the muon storage ring. Left to right they are S. van der Meer (Netherlands), F. J. M. Farley (UK), M. Giesch (Federal Republic of Germany), R. Brown (UK), J. Bailey (Australia), E. Picasso (Italy) and H. Jost-lein (Federal Republic of Germany). One other contributor to the experiment, M. Tannenbaum (USA) is not with the group. md5:4cbd214e62d74954280e44e45a63e9f8	360.8 kB	Preview Download
Manfred Giesch checks the magnet aperture during assembly of the muon storage ring. The eight sections of each pole were machined together on a large turntable at Linz in Austria, and reassembled at CERN. Careful design and construction and final correction by the addition of thin steel shims to the magnet poles, made it possible to establish the required field shape to an accuracy of a few parts in 10 000, on average. The field is stable to 50 parts in a million. md5:d6217e51a7f7682c6dece2bfd90ea24f	372.2 kB	Preview Download
Checking the counters on the inside of the muon storage ring before a trial run. Concrete shielding can be seen surrounding the ring, and particularly around the target area, to reduce radiation in the rest of the South hall when the experiment is running. Shielding inside the ring itself protects the counters from the initial blast of radiation. The pillar in the centre provides a fixed pivot for magnetic field surveys. It can also support four rods (two can be seen in the photograph) which carry automatic NMR proton resonance magnetometers for continuous monitoring of the magnetic field. md5:ced09a21729afddb9dd47b651b15e4f9	382.9 kB	Preview Download
