;The [[Ion Source]]
:The CASE Nuclear Structure Lab ion source is a General Ionex 860A (now part of High Voltage Europa [http://www.highvolteng.com/Ion_Accelerator_Systems.html HVEE]), purchased in 1983. It is a negative ion source capable of making microAmp beams of most elements from the periodic table (exceptions include noble gases).   
;The [[Tandem]]
:The CASE Nuclear Structure Lab accelerator is the FN-8 Tandem Van de Graaff built by High Voltage Engineering Corporation in 1967. It uses a pelletized charging chain to create voltages up to 8 Million Volts.
;The [[Ion Optics]]
:A variety of ion optical elements are used to steer and focus the beam. 
;The [[Target Room]]
:The CASE NSL Target Room has 6 beamlines available for experiments in nuclear physics, atomic physics, condensed matter, radiation damage and Accelerator Mass Spectromtry.</li>
; The [[Detectors]]
:Each experiment uses specialized detectors to count, identify and characterize the reaction products.
