    • Thanks for the lecture Prof. Barish.

      One meter long, nine cavities, nyobium.

      Tons of tech. 35 MV as a target.

      Cryomodules cool everything.

      5*10 to the 31 luminosity target.

      Squeezing the beam once all are in a row. WOW.

      Earthquake in Japan slowed production.

      Two tnnels at CERN. Japan puts all in one tunnel.

      A central lab, dampners. Three stories high. Soft bending to eliminate radiation. One incoming beam each for electrons and protons. Two detectors. Better resolution at Cern.
