The Great Day - 23rd of December 2009

On the 23rd of December we prepared the UV laser beam and synchronization to excite the first electron pulses.


Walter Knulst and Martien Vermeulen who have contructed the picosecond-pulsed 4.5-MeV electron accelerator. This project could not have been successfull without the support and help of many people: John Suijkerbuijk, Paul Rijkers, Juleon Schins, Laurens Siebbeles, Rene den Oudsten, Raymon Bresser, Rene Gommers, Ruud van Tol, Eindhoven University of Technology, Pulsar Physics, and many others.



2 - On the scope screen in blue the UV excited electron pulse is visible. To celebrate this event a bottle of champagne is donated by Laurens Siebbeles, the initiator of the accelerator project.









3 - We invited a lot of contribitors to the construction of the electron accerlator to see the first electron pulses on screen and take part of the celibration.
