BOREAS - Photos of the installation of the main beamline components

27/1/2010  

After a long travel by boat from Toyama's factory in Japan, the boxes containing all the main beamline components (PM/TM mirror chamber, monochromator, entrance and exit slits and various diagnostics elements) arrive at ALBA!

First the truck is unloaded ... 

... and then the boxes are transferred to the beamline
