Browsing: SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, operated by Stanford University for the U.S. Department of Energy, is a premier research facility located in Menlo Park, California. Originally founded in 1962 to advance particle physics, SLAC is home to one of the longest linear accelerators in the world. Today, its research spans a wide range of fields, including astrophysics, materials science, chemistry, and energy research. SLAC is also a leader in X-ray science, housing the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), the world’s first hard X-ray free-electron laser, which allows scientists to observe atomic and molecular processes in real time. The lab’s work supports fundamental discoveries as well as practical innovations in technology and medicine.
