Accelerators

Sila Kiliccote, Jodi Verleger and Lydia Young demonstrate what it means to live SLAC’s values.

As it evolves, SLAC's linear accelerator illustrates some important technologies from the history of accelerator science.

After 50 Years of Operation, One-third of the Lab’s Historic Linear Accelerator Is Extracted to Build Powerful New X-Ray Laser

The team determined the 3-D structure of a biomolecule by tagging it with selenium atoms and taking hundreds of thousands of images.

Two recently funded computing projects work toward developing cutting-edge scientific applications for future exascale supercomputers that can perform at least a billion billion computing operations per second.

During a recent shutdown, engineers installed new beamline technology and a 3-D virtual tour captured rare views of the synchrotron’s interior.

What’s the difference between a synchrotron and a cyclotron, anyway?

Four Stanford students receive funding for work on novel accelerators and beams for SLAC's X-ray laser.

A new device at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory allows researchers to explore the properties and dynamics of molecules with circularly polarized, or spiraling, light.

Researchers have reached another milestone in the development of a promising technology that could lead to more efficient and powerful particle accelerators.

The lab’s signature particle highway prepares to enter another era of transformative science as the home of the LCLS-II X-ray laser.
