Symmetry: Retired equipment lives on in new physics experiments
Physicists often find thrifty, ingenious ways to reuse equipment and resources.
Symmetry: Starting from the Bottom
The bottom quark may lead physicists on a path to new discoveries.
Scientists Narrow Down the Search for Dark Photons Using Decade-Old Particle Collider Data
Analysis of data from the BaBar experiment rules out theorized particle’s explanation for muon mystery.
SLAC’s Blair Ratcliff Wins American Physical Society’s Instrumentation Award
The emeritus physicist was honored for the development of novel detectors that have greatly advanced experiments in particle physics, especially BABAR, which looked into the matter-antimatter imbalance of the universe.
Q&A: SLAC’s Vera Lüth Discusses the Search for New Physics
Data from the BABAR, Belle and LHCb experiments hint at phenomena beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.
SLAC’s Historic Linac Turns 50 and Gets a Makeover
The lab’s signature particle highway prepares to enter another era of transformative science as the home of the LCLS-II X-ray laser.
Symmetry: Charge-Parity Violation
Matter and antimatter behave differently. Scientists hope that investigating how might someday explain why we exist.
Jonathan Dorfan and David Hitlin Receive 2016 Panofsky Prize
The American Physical Society has recognized both researchers for their leading role in SLAC’s BABAR experiment, which confirmed theorists’ description of how nature treats matter and antimatter differently.
Construction of LSST Clean Room at SLAC Completed
SLAC scientists and engineers celebrated the completion of a new clean room, where the lab will assemble the camera of the future Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.
Symmetry: Giant Magnet to Map Melted Matter
A 20-ton superconducting magnet has completed its journey from California to New York.
