caption_attribution_description: English: The following is the author's description of the photograph quoted directly from the photograph's Flickr page."Argonne scientists Bob Scott (left), Rick Vondrasek and Gary Zinkann inspect the surface ionization source, which provides stable beams to the charge breeder at the Argonne Tandem-Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS)."
context_page_description: The Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System is a scientific user facility at Argonne National Laboratory. ATLAS is the first superconducting linear accelerator for heavy ions at energies in the vicinity of the Coulomb barrier.
  The ATLAS accelerator at Argonne should not be confused with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
