Fermilab will be the site of LBNF's future beamline, and the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), in Lead, SD, is the site selected to house the massive far detector.
The beamline which analyzed the particles is at right.
The first major segment of an ion beamline includes a device known as an ion source to generate the ion species.
The source is closely coupled to biased electrodes for extraction of the ions into the beamline and most often to some means of selecting a particular ion species for transport into the main accelerator section.
