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

Accelerator scientists are in demand at labs and beyond.

Computer simulations and lab experiments help researchers understand the violent universe and could potentially lead to new technologies that benefit humankind.

CERN physicist Edda Gschwendtner explains why we need big machines to study tiny particles.

Learn some particle accelerator basics from a Fermilab accelerator operator.

What’s it like working on experiments over the holidays?

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has awarded $13.5 million for an international effort to build a working particle accelerator the size of a shoebox based on an innovative technology known as “accelerator on a chip.”

Physicists are already preparing upgrades that will increase the physics reach of the Large Hadron Collider in the next decade.

President Obama honored a SLAC and UCLA scientist for work that paved the way for the brightest sources of X-ray light on the planet.

The American Physical Society has recognized both researchers for their leading role in SLAC’s BABAR experiment, which confirmed theorists’ description of how nature treats matter and antimatter differently.
