The TTC Team ready for the visit

"The coolest place we saw in point 4" (Richard)

120 meters below the coolest place

And behind us: the klystrons' team

Looking closer...

Below Richard's feet: the klystrons' signals entering the faraday cage

Our guide in great shape ...

Welcome to the faraday cage

Narrow, but populated!

RF_Rx modules

A nice working place in UX45

This way please

On the way to the tunnel, some analog and digital RF_Rx/Tx modules, protected by a wall of recycled magnets

The cavities

IP4 is right there

the Beam pick-ups

The beam shaker (generating synchrotron radiation to make a nice picture of it)

Electrons are forbidden in the LHC!

On the way back to the surface

SR4, where RF is generated and transmitted to TTC

The BCref generator, the GPS receiver and the VTU module dividing the 400MHz (this is the module which will be resynchronized before each run)

Thanks to Philippe and Donat for this very interesting visit!
