Electron Gun

This afternoon was the final opportunity for me to be won over to a highly lucrative career in accelerator physics and ditch the chemistry nonsense. I was watching Matt and Mathias experiments with the electron gun, which can shoot out the electrons required for generating synchrotron radiation. I think I was most excited by the special blue booties we had to wear - I suppose that means that I'm not cut out for accelerator physics.
