Team Cockroft & Walton in our summer 2018 Accelerator Fundamentals class makes a breakthrough in measuring the characteristics of a Wall Current Monitor.
Veksler & MacMillan teammates in the January 2018 Accelerator Fundamentals class investigate the inner structure of a 'pillbox cavity' during the RF cavities lab.
Fundamentals students determine the characteristics of a wall current monitor/toroid and a beam position monitor as part of a laboratory session on instrumentation.
