A 9 cm high aluminum model representing the superconducting cyclotron that was built as a part of the TASCC (Tandem And SuperConducting Cyclotron) facility built at CRNL for nuclear physics research. The actual magnet measured 3.36 m across the octagonal faces and weighed 170 tons. The holes in the model represent the trim rods, a unique feature of the Chalk River machine. These rods were used to adjust the profile of the magnetic field to allow a wide array of ions to be accelerated. The two short pipes at the mid-plane represent the input and outlet beam lines to the cyclotron. This model was one of three presented to physicists from the Accelerator Physics Branch who worked on the project and who retired in 1992. The TASCC facility was defunded in 1997 and was dismantled and sold as scrap metal.
