LCLS-II

Join us for five days of ultrafast science from April 17 to 21.

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

Detectors long used to look at the cosmos are now part of X-ray experiments here on Earth.

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

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.

The event drew more than 400 participants, with workshops and presentations focusing on collaborations and new technology at SLAC’s light sources.

Understanding how a material’s electrons interact with vibrations of its nuclear lattice could help design and control novel materials, from solar cells to high-temperature superconductors.

The scientists develop methods to study neutrinos from star explosions and search for unknown particles and forces with possible ties to dark matter.

The mirrors only differ by one atom in flatness, from end to end.

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.

Finding ways to handle torrents of data from LSST and LCLS-II will also advance “exascale” computing.

Taken at SLAC, microscopic footage of exploding liquids will give researchers more control over experiments at X-ray lasers.
