SLAC and Stanford's James D. Bjorken Shares 2015 Wolf Prize in Physics

Honored for early theoretical predictions that helped elucidate the nature of the strong force and the structure of the proton, he is still shaking things up today.

Symmetry: 20-Ton Magnet Heads to New York

A superconducting magnet begins its journey from SLAC laboratory in California to Brookhaven Lab in New York.

Is the Higgs Boson a Piece of the Matter-Antimatter Puzzle?

Experiments have helped explain some of the imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe, but not all of it. Now a SLAC theorist and his colleagues have laid out a possible method for determining if the Higgs boson is involved.

Symmetry: Scientists Set Aside Rivalry to Preserve Knowledge

Scientists from two experiments have banded together to create a single comprehensive record of their work for scientific posterity.

Symmetry: Physicist Shares Do-it-Yourself Expertise Online

SLAC scientist Michael Kelsey sees connections between the communities of physicists and do-it-yourselfers.

Symmetry: Coming soon: Plan for the future of US particle physics

The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel’s recommendations will set the course for the future of particle physics in the United States.

Completing the Circuit: SLAC-designed Chips Empower X-ray Science

Scientists in SLAC's Integrated Circuits Department reach a new frontier in ultrafast X-ray science with intricately designed signal-processing chips that translate particles of light into bits of data.

BaBar Searches for New Physics in Invisible Decays

Scientists analyzing data from the BaBar experiment, which operated at SLAC between 1999 and 2008, recently published the results of a search for signs of invisible particles: exotic bits of matter that interact so weakly with ordinary stuff they left no mark in the BaBar detector.
