	Stanford Linear Accelerator Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The SLAC research program centers on experimental and theoretical research in elementary particle physics using electron beams and a broad program of research in atomic and solid-state physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine using synchrotron radiation.
		As of 2005, SLAC employs over 1,000 people, some 150 of which are physicists with doctorate degrees, and serves over 3,000 visiting researchers yearly, operating particle accelerators for high-energy physics and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) for synchrotron light radiation research.
		SLAC's meeting facilities provided a venue for the homebrew computer club and other pioneers of the 1980s home computer revolution, and later SLAC hosted the first webpage in the U.S. There was a Paleoparadoxia found at the SLAC site, and its skeleton can be seen at a small museum there in the Breezeway.

		SLAC is a world-class basic research laboratory located on Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park.
		While SLAC at all times operated within the emissions limits specified by both local and federal regulations, the machining process nonetheless resulted in the emission of several thousand pounds of chlorinated solvent per year into the atmosphere.
		Representing SLAC at the award ceremony were Butch Byers from the Environment, Safety, and Health Division and Ali Farvid from the Mechanical Fabrication Department.

	SLAC Archives
		SLAC’s expertise in the acceleration of electrons, in theoretical physics, and in the design and construction of particle detectors enables its researchers to pursue answers to basic questions about the structure of matter and about the fundamental forces that operate in our universe.
		SLAC has a continuing and important role in the development of new technologies, and maintains a deep and enduring commitment to the training of tomorrow’s scientists and engineers.
		All operating units at SLAC are requested to designate a “Records Liaison” for their unit: this individual is the major point of contact for Records Management and the Archives and History Office, and receives periodic training from the laboratory Records Manager and Archivist on records policies and procedures.

		It is a special tribute to SLAC to note, as we have seen it develop, that this is the finest laboratory in the world with a history of discovery and a future of excitement.
		Well, thanks to the ingenuity of the SLAC staff, the wavelength will be one and a half angstroms in the hard x-ray range, the luminosity will be ten billion times any other light source on Earth at that wavelength, and the pulse length can be as short—with some real photons present—as three hundred attoseconds.

		The electrons, from the 2-mile long linear accelerator, were scattered by collisions with protons in the hydrogen and were detected as they flew off at a variety of angles.
		The team, from SLAC and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), found that more electrons bounced back at wide angles and with high energies than they would expect if the protons were uniform spheres of matter.
		The electrons were scattered in a hydrogen "target" to the left of the image, and detected at different angles by these huge "sepctrometers", which use magnets (the blue structures) to bend the electrons, in order to measure their momentum before they are detected (within the big yellow "containers").

	SLAC chief civil engineer and cartoonist Robert Gould dies: 1/00
		The actual physical arrangements of buildings and accelerators at SLAC are a memorial to him, and his sense of humor as expressed in his cartoons put otherwise serious events into humorous context."
		In 1960, one year before the formal approval of SLAC, Gould asked Panofsky whether the accelerator center had a job for a "slightly used engineer." The answer was yes.
		One of his cartoon series conjectured the consequences if SLAC's accelerator tunnel and experimental areas had been constructed in the traditional Stanford sandstone style.

	Case Study - The SLAC “B Factory” Project
		Designed and built by SLAC in cooperation with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories (LLNL) with $293 million in DOE funding, the B Factory is an innovative electron-positron collider that creates millions of short-lived B mesons whose behavior provides clues about matter-antimatter asymmetries.
		The project, which began in 1994 and completed in July of 1998, comprised two major construction efforts: a two-ring accelerator complex built by a collaboration of SLAC, LBNL and LLNL, and a 1,200-ton particle detector built by a consortium of nine nations.
		Before the B Factory project began, SLAC had neither a formal project management system nor the institutional processes and systems to support one.
