A time exposure photograph of an intense relativistic electron beam injected into an acrylic plastic drift pipe at the Air Force Weapons Laboratory (AFWL). The beam was produced by the AFWL FX-25, a Van De Graaff charged electron accelerator

A high-speed camera captures the first full-energy shots from the Office of Naval Research-funded electromagnetic railgun prototype launcher that was recently installed at a test facility in Dahlgren, Va.

Stuart Wolf observes crystal layering in the Electron Beam Epitaxy Facility at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). The crystals are used by scientists at the facility for the development of superconducting lattices

A model of the Experimental Test Accelerator (ETA) faciity at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The 2.5 MeV gun is on the support stand in the right foreground. A 10 kA electron beam pulse is accelerated in the gun to 2.5 MeV by inductively summing the output voltage of ten water blumleins charged to 250 kV

Top trace: sum induction electrode in south tank; bottom trace: west outside scintillator. Beam spill by RF droop, trigger-I24; sweep speed:10ms/cm. Photograph taken May 1, 1956. Bevatron-1071

Voltage-dividing planes with both guides and ion tube, Van de Graaff generator. Photograph taken June 28, 1950. LINAC-671
