The nanoscale patterns of SLAC and Stanford’s accelerator on a chip gleam in rainbow colors prior to being assembled and cut into their final forms.

View of the BaBar detector (about six meters in diameter) with staff scientist Michael Kelsey analyzing problems during a shutdown of SLAC’s PEP-II electron-positron storage rings. 

When stars explode, the supernovas send off shock waves like the one shown in this artist's rendition, which accelerate protons to cosmic-ray energies through a process known as Fermi acceleration.

Looking east down SLAC's 2-mile long linear accelerator toward Stanford and the San Francisco Bay.

A close-up of the XL5 klystron. Manufactured by CPI, it was brought to SLAC for testing at a unique facility that can power the tube with 400,000-volt pulses. Building its own test facility would have cost the company at least...
