Arian Dovald and Ben Juarez tear off the plastic wrap from the rack with several control units. This machine will allow them to control and steer the direction of the beams. Friday, October 15, 2021. (Photo by: Xander Orinola)

Several pieces of equipment that will come together and form the final beamline. The beamline will produce a vacuum that will allow students to run tests using particle beams and also allow them to create antimatter, according to Arian Dovald. Friday, October 15, 2021. (Photo by: Xander Orinola)
Arian Dovald demonstrates where a gasket will connect to a tube containing a faraday cup, a sensor used to monitor what is happening within the beamline. Due to the metal tubes being very sensitive, people operating the machine must wear gloves to prevent dust or skin oils from touching the inner portions of the tubes. Friday, October 15, 2021.

Arian Dovald finishes placing aluminum foil over certain pieces of equipment. Since the final device is so long, the current plan is to tear down the wall and allow the metal supports (bottom left) to take its place. Friday, October 15, 2021. (Photo by: Xander Orinola)
