Astrophysics and cosmology

The LSST cryostat, now fully assembled, will keep the camera’s image sensors continuously cooled to minus 150 degrees Fahrenheit for crisp, high-sensitivity views of the night skies.

She’ll direct the future of astrophysics research at SLAC and Stanford for the next five years.

Their work will deepen our understanding of matter in extreme conditions and fundamental particle physics.

By capturing the most energetic light in the sky, the spacecraft continues to teach us about the mysteries of the universe.

This neutrino-watchers season preview will give you the rundown on what to expect to come out of neutrino research in the coming years.

The SuperCDMS SNOLAB project, a multi-institutional effort led by SLAC, is expanding the hunt for dark matter to particles with properties not accessible to any other experiment.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will track billions of objects for 10 years, creating unprecedented opportunities for studies of cosmic mysteries.

The accomplished particle physicist will prepare the lab for its role in DUNE, a next-generation experiment designed to demystify neutrinos and their fundamental role in the universe.

Installation of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument begins at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona.

As members of the lab’s Computer Science Division, they develop the tools needed to handle ginormous data volumes produced by the next generation of scientific discovery machines.

21 of these "science rafts" will go into the world's largest digital camera for astronomy, which is being assembled and tested at SLAC.

Effort to improve the next generation of gravitational wave detectors includes atomic studies of new and better coatings for LIGO’s mirrors at SSRL.
