It was only a technological development. The 100kgsgauss field was achieved in the PS South Hall at the end of 1965, over a length of 20cm and diameter 6cm. It was a collaboration of the nuclear apparatus and nuclear physics divisions.</br> 1962 1962 1969 1969 1969 1969 1974 1974 The metal structure of the shuttering used when pouring the concrete walls of the SPS tunnel gave this remarkable optical effect 1970 1970 1965 1965 1965 1965 1970 1970 1962 1962 1962 1962 Soon time for lunch 1969 1969 1965 1965 1969 1969 1969 1969 1969 1969 1973 1973 1973 1973 On this picture, we can see behind a lens, Georges Charpak and a particle detector 1973 1973 1967 1967 1966 1966 1966 1966 1966 1966 1966 1966 1963 1963 1963 1963 1963 1963 1963 1963 1963 1963 1963 1963 1963 1963 Giuseppe Fidecaro 1963 1963 1963 1963 1962 1962 1962 1962 1962 1962 Happy chimney sweepers: Albert Jeanrenaud, Ami Guerry, Raphaël Joye, Louis Bourqui 1962 1962 1962 1962 1962 1962 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1962 1962 1969 1969 1969 1969 1969 1969 1966 1966 1973 1973 Amos Breskin looking through a lens. 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1973 1970 1970 1970 1970 1969 1969 1973 1973 1973 1973 1972 1972 1969 1969 1963 1963 1963 1963 Main Buliding 1967 1967 CERN Equestrian Club stall at the CERN open day in 1967 1963 1963 Slippery roads can be a challenge; not all members of CERN are used to driving on snow and ice CERN Annual report - Proton Synchrotron Department 88-109 1967 1967 1967 1967 1964 1964 1964 1964 Banquet organized for visitors at CERN 1966 1966 1967 1967 1970 1970 1969 1969 1969 1969 GC CERN Courier 219-220 13 7-8 1973 1973 Internment of the 'old' 600 MeV synchrocyclotron on 7 June 1973.

The operator controls the measuring device, which uses bi-polar co-ordinates ; by pressing on a pedal, the data are recorded by the card punch in the foreground. The accuracy of measure- ment on the film is 20 microns on a 50 mm x 50 mm field. On the table on the right, there is an auxiliary data panel for inserting the data, the experiment and the No. of the photograph, of the table and of the (operator, etc. On the extreme left is the electronic equipment connecting the measuring table to the card punch.

The photograph is of the final mirror which brought together onto one film the information coming from four banks of optical spark chambers (the four separate banks, seen end-on, can be distinguished). The final mirror looked at two mirrors which seem to form two faces of a large cube in the photograph. In the two faces of the 'cube' are then seen further mirrors which receive the light from the spark chambers. The chambers were used to measure the momentum of the proton coming from the beta decay of the lambda particle. The experiment, carried out by a Heidelberg/CERN team, finished collecting data in the spring of 1969.

Nearly half of the lead-glass crystals can be seen in the lower part of the photograph already installed. Incident electrons and gamma rays would dissipate their energy in the crystals and the resulting light would be captured by photomultipliers (not installed at the time the photograph was taken). The important feature of the assembly is its excellent energy resolution of 1.5 %. 1967 1967 1969 1969 1972 1972 CERN Courier 99-105 9 4 1969 1967 An assembly of 40 foils for a secondary emission chamber (SEC). The foils are separated by glass insulators and the connections on alternate foils which are taken to positive voltage can be seen on the left. The top twenty foils have a central aperture and serve to help beam control by giving signals only when the beam is not well collimated. The lower foils cover the whole aperture and give signals proportional to beam intensity. 1963 1963 1969 1969 1969 1969 1964 1964 1956 1956 1963 1963 1957 1957 The album relates to building 2; CERN maps 1962 1962 1970 1970 1961 1961 1962 1962 1962 1962 1962 1962 1964 1964 1967 1967 1969 1969 Lichen 1970 1970 Data were recorded on tape reels and rushed to the Computer Centre to obtain a quick feedback-using special 'priority cards'.

In a certain tradition, the journeyman years (Wanderjahre) are a time of travel for several years after completing apprenticeship as a craftsman. The tradition dates back to medieval times and is still alive in France, Scandinavia and the German-speaking countries. Normally three years and one day is the minimum period of journeyman/woman. Crafts include roofing, metalworking, woodcarving, carpentry and joinery, and even millinery and musical instrument making/organ building. 1962 1962 1960 1960 1971 1971 ISR access to intersection 1 with keys for "controlled access". 1966 1966 1962 1962 1971 1971 1971 1971 1961 1961 1960 1960 1972 1972 Meyrin village 1959 1959 A panoramic view of Salève and the Alps seen from the CERN site 1982 1982 1972 1972 1979 1979 1967 1967 1960 1960 Blackboard 1968 1968 1985 1985 1961 1961 1961 1961 GC 1985 1985 An innovative setup using the staircase of an office building as a laboratory. 1970 1970 1981 1981 1981 1981 1969 1969 1969 1969 1984 1984 1976 1976 1975 1975 1963 1963 1970 1970 1965 1965 1962 1962 1976 1976 1975 1975 Sagnell, Bengt CERN Courier 1-2 15 1 1975 1975 The CERN Directors General are taken for a ride.
