Physics Services

 

Amos Breskin, Head
The Walter P. Reuther Professorial Chair of Research in the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy

The Physics Services, comprising of five different units, offers advanced services in particle accelerators, electronics, data acquisition, vacuum and cryogenics, thin films and mechanical workshop. These units provide services to the scientific groups throughout the institute as well as to various external users. The structure of the Physics Services is:

1. Accelerator Laboratory (Prof. M. Hass, in charge)
   Operation of the 14 MV Pelletron accelerator and the 2 MV VDG accelerator
   
   
2. Electronics and Data Acquisition (Dr. L. Levinson, in charge)
   DAQ solutions to research problems
   Electronics design and construction
   Repair of sophisticated electronic instruments
   Real-time DAQ software
   
   
3. UHV, cryogenics and thin films (Dr. M. Rappaport, in charge)
   Consultation and design for experimental systems
   Thin films deposition: evaporation, sputtering, electron-gun, rolling
   
   
4. Data acquisition (Dr. E. Segre, in charge)
   Consultation and design of on-line data acquisition, image processing, etc...
   
   
5. Mechanics workshop (Y. Asher, in charge)
