Kayla Ninh at LCLS’s ChemRIX Hutch 2.2 in Near Experimental Hall. 

The linac is equipped with two world-class helium cryoplants.

Illustration of an electron beam traveling through a niobium cavity – a key component of SLAC’s future LCLS-II X-ray laser.

This illustration shows snapshots of the light-triggered transition of the ring-shaped 1,3-cyclohexadiene (CHD) molecule (background) to its stretched-out 1,3,5-hexatriene (HT) form (foreground). 

Researchers will use FACET-II to develop the plasma wakefield acceleration method, in which researchers send a bunch of very energetic particles through a hot...

An animation shows how an infrared laser beam (orange) triggers atomic vibrations in a thin layer of iron selenide, which are then recorded by...

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...

X-ray laser pulses probe water droplets like these to discover water’s hidden (and sometimes bizarre) properties. 

Studies of atomic-level processes that drain battery life and efficiency help improve battery performance. 

Ultra-bright X-ray laser pulses can be used to strip electrons away from atoms, creating ions with strong charges.
