This animation shows an accelerator cavity whose design is being optimized with the help of a dashboard Kitware developed for use with SLAC’s ACE3P software. The waves of color traveling through the modeled accelerator cavity represent electromagnetic fields that pull...
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory celebrated 60 years of science in 2022. This video is the first part in a series of videos celebrating SLAC’s early and recent history of various areas of the lab.
This animation shows the proposed design of a future device for X-ray therapy, which researchers hope will be able to deliver radiation powerful enough to blast cancer cells in under a second instead of minutes.
This animation explains how researchers use high-energy electrons at SLAC to study faster-than-ever motions of atoms and molecules relevant to important material properties and chemical processes.
An upgrade to SLAC’s renowned Linac Coherent Light Source will allow it to deliver X-ray laser beams that are 10,000 times brighter with pulses that arrive up to a million times per second.
