SLAC celebrates five days of ultrafast science.

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

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

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

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

New ‘GREEN-RF’ Technology Recycles Energy that Would Otherwise Go to Waste in Accelerating Particles for Science, Medicine, Industry

A SLAC-led research team working at the lab’s FACET facility has demonstrated a new way of accelerating positrons that could help develop smaller, more economical future particle colliders.

Scientists and engineers in South Korea will soon be using SLAC’s signature high-power radio-frequency amplifiers, called XL4 klystrons, to get the most out of their new X-ray laser.

Scientists have demonstrated that a promising technique for accelerating electrons on waves of hot plasma is efficient enough to power a new generation of shorter, more economical accelerators.
