Electronics technicians, Dwight Maxon and Tom Schrimsher are invaluable to the operation of the entire Department of Physics. In particular, they have assisted the SIRIS project with power supplies and control for the primary ion beam-analyzing magnet and for the final focussing element for the primary ion beam, an electrostatic quadrupole triplet. Their expertise is broad; they have assisted with a variety of electronic problems encountered in laser diagnostics, fast timing signals, and custom CAMAC module design.

Many components for the SIRIS project have been built on campus at the Physics Machine Shop and at the student machine shop. Jim Cobb, Bobby Turner, and Ed Walter have tremendous expertise with all machine shop tools and techniques. They have built large structural frames for the system components, they have constructed UHV compatible steel housings, and they have provided unique training to the students. Students have access to lathes and mills and have built numerous small components for the system.

UNT has a superb computer network that allows students to operate along the cutting edge of computer technology. Computers are constructed on campus and support is just a phone call away. The network provides software and internet access.
