DuPont trademark Sample Brochure on RequesI Nuclear Study Aided by Closed-Circuit TV Camera ♦ A closed-circuit television camera has been put to work observing a high-energy proton beam at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Upton. New York. The problem of safely studying the shape of the proton beam was solved by installation of a small, five-pound television camera developed by General Precision Laboratory of Pleasantville. New York. Through pictures transmitted by the tv camera to a remote monitor, physicists now can watch the pattern made by the 3 Bev external Closed-circuit tv camera at Brookhaven National Laboratory permits safe viewing of lethal beam at a remote monitor station. proton beam on a sodium iodide mosaic with greater clarity and without exposure to radiation. From observation of the illuminated area of the mosaic, accurate adjustment of the focusing magnets can be made. This orientation is required for the effective bombardment of the nuclei of the matter being studied. This placement of the matter at the proper location for the probing of its composition by the proton beam is greatly aided by the new system. The ability to remotely control the direction and lens iris and focus of the camera makes possible a clear, bright picture of the beams pattern despite the low level of the mosaic. Picture detail is unaffected by the high magnetic pulses created in the Cosmotron. R' S.O.S. Signs Pact M A new contract has been entered into by the S.O.S.
