Abstract
This paper gives a description of the overall design and construction of the SLAC beam switchyard and experimental areas. The electron optics and transport components of the switchyard are described. The high-intensity beams transported by this system present special problems requiring design for radiation resistance, remote-precise location, quick removal, and resistance to corrosive environments.(13) These problems and their solution are discussed. The SLAC research yard and its present experimental facilities are discussed. Finally, a design evaluation and summary of early tests and operation experience in this area are presented.
