Several 1-particle trajectories are shown in this animation.
This animation allows you to "fly" towards BLAST.
Click here for an animated (GIF, 420k) schematic of the construction process. This was generated from our CAD model.
The main support frames of BLAST are mounted on rails to allow access to the target. This animation (GIF, 1.8M; also generated from the CAD model) shows the frames opening and closing.
Camera 1 is located on top of OHIPS and looks down on BLAST from about 60 degrees right of the beamline. Here's a sample image taken shortly after construction began.

Camera 2 is located on the south wall of the hall, and looks down at BLAST from a bit left of the beamline. Here's a sample image from camera 2, same date as the one above.

In addition to live images, MPEG movies are automatically generated to chronicle the construction effort. Two movies (one from each camera) are built from pictures taken at the end of each working day. These are automatically updated, and show the progress of construction from its early stages. These movies are available to everyone:
Camera 1: End-of-day movieWeekly movies are also generated for internal documentation (restricted access):
If you have trouble viewing the movies, contact your system administrator or try this site. Note: The RH7.0 linux machines at Bates should automatically handle mpegs. If they do not, enter "gtv %s" for the application to be used for mpeg video in Netscape Preferences.
