Scale model of Canadian contribution to HERA accelerator

Artifact Number:

2019-108

Description

This is an 1:20 scale model of one of two accelerator components developed by the Accelerator Physics Branch at CRNL as the Canadian contribution to HERA (Hadron Electron Ring Accelerator), part of the DESY (Deutsches Electronen Synchrotron) high-energy particle accelerator at Hamburg, Germany.  CRNL built these two accelerator components under commercial contract from NSERC (Natural Sciences and Research Council).  L.W. (Warren) Funk was the Project Leader for this contract and this memento was presented to him in 1990 when he left CRNL for a position at an accelerator laboratory in the USA.  The accelerator module measures 9 cm in length and is mounted on a 14 cm by 15 cm wooden base.
