BNBMagneticHorn

Booster Neutrino Beam Magnetic Focussing Horn: This focusing device, called a horn, is crucial to the Booster Neutrino Beam. It is pulsed five times per second with a 170,000-amp current, creating a strong magnetic field. Installed in the beam line, the horn steers neutrino-producing particles in the direction of the MiniBooNE and SciBooNE detectors.

MiniBooNEPMTs

MiniBooNE Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs): These devices detect light emitted inside the MiniBooNE detector by the energetic charged particles created by neutrino interactions.

SciBooNE Groundbreaking at Fermilab, Sep 2006: Dr R. Tesarek, FNAL, SciBooNE Project Head, Dr J. Strait, FNAL, FNAL Particle Physics Department Head, Dr M.O. Wascko, Imperial College, SciBooNE co-Spokesman, Dr H. MOntgomery, FNAL, FNAL Associate Director for Research, Dr S. Holmes, FNAL, FNAL Associate Director for Accelerators, Dr Y.K. Kim, FNAL & University of Chicago, FNAL Deputy Director, Dr P. Oddone, FNAL, FNAL Director.

SciBarWLSFibers

Wavelength-shifting Fibres Inside SciBooNE's SciBar Subdetector: These fibers collect and guide light created by the passasge of energetic charged particles through the scintillating plastic bars of the SciBar detector, changing the color of the light from ultraviolet to blue and green for easier detection by the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs).
