FACET-II is the only facility in the world capable of providing high-energy electron and positron beams for researching a vast array of revolutionary accelerator technologies that could shrink future accelerators by factors of 100 to 1,000 and sharpen their capabilities.
Over the course of two years, crews at SLAC installed a state-of-the-art high brightness electron source and new electron bunch compressor systems for producing intense beams.
To find the best possible shape for an accelerator component (left), researchers often have to tweak a number of factors at the same time, which would be tedious and time-consuming if done by hand. Software like SLAC’s ACE3P allows them...
SLAC is a world leader in X-ray and ultrafast science. We make our X-ray laser and synchrotron facilities available to researchers from around the world.
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Camera’s focal plane has a surface area large enough to capture a portion of the sky about the size of 40 full moons.
