The klystron gallery at SLAC’s 2-mile-long linear accelerator contains more than 150 klystrons that produce microwave pulses for accelerating electrons to high energies.
Accelerators form the backbone of SLAC's national user facilities. Research at SLAC is continually improving accelerators, both at SLAC and at other laboratories, and is also paving the way to a new generation of particle acceleration technology.
