How do we protect an open cryomodule from dust and dirt? The same way you keep your hair dry in the shower, just perhaps slightly larger. Meet our “shower cap” (yes, we call it that), which keeps out contamination that would otherwise interfere with electrons accelerated within.

Numerical simulations turned into striking scenes. This sequence follows the formation of the cosmic web in a region about 500 million lightyears across. The black shapes are filaments of dark matter, and their intersections host massive clusters of galaxies, shown in yellow.
