	IEEE - IEEE History Center: Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, 1962
		The Stanford two-mile accelerator, the longest in the world, accelerates electrons to the very high energy needed in the study of subatomic particles and forces.
		The accelerating waveguide, which is basically a long conducting tube about four inches in diameter, was assembled from cylinders and disks that formed individual microwave cavities as shown in the photograph at right.
		This was solved by mounting four ten-foot accelerator sections on one large aluminum pipe and aligning these four sections with an optical transit in the laboratory.

	Linear particle accelerator Summary
		Such accelerators are severely limited in accelerating power since at high voltage, energy is lost due to corona discharge, with electrical energy dissipated into the surrounding atmosphere.
		The first linear accelerator with the accelerating cavities made of superconductor was built by HEPL on the Stanford campus, mostly for low- and intermediate-energy nuclear physics experiments.
		Therefore, high energy accelerators such as SLAC, still the longest in the world, (in its various generations) are run in short pulses, limiting the average current output and forcing the experimental detectors to handle data coming in short bursts.

	SLAC's 40th Anniversary Celebration
		Stanford University and SLAC have pioneered the acceleration and use of electron beams for this research; the laboratory currently generates the highest-energy electron beams found anywhere in the world.
		During the past two decades, SLAC physicists developed a completely new kind of particle accelerator called a "linear collider," in which beams of electrons smash into their antimatter counterparts, known as positrons, after having been boosted to high energy in a single pass down the linear accelerator.
		Electrons accelerated in the final third of the linear accelerator will be compressed and directed through a special magnet array to produce laser-like X-ray beams of unparalleled brilliance.

	SLAC: The first 40 years: 10/02
		On April 10, 1956, Stanford staff met in Professor Wolfgang Panofsky's home to discuss Professor Robert Hofstadter's suggestion to build a linear accelerator that was at least 10 times as powerful as the Mark III, the third linear accelerator built at Stanford.
		The linear accelerator, built by a team led by Panofsky, who joined the Stanford faculty in 1951 and directed SLAC from 1961 to 1985, is completed -- on time and within its $114 million budget.
		Stanford's Roger Kornberg, for example, used data collected at SSRL in determining the structure of RNA polymerase, a key enzyme governing how genes are transcribed into proteins.

	Stanford Cancer Center - Linear Accelerator (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Linear accelerators are the newest radiation technology available today.
		Linear accelerators at the Stanford Comprehensive Cancer Center are able to interface with computers to create advanced, targeted radiation therapy treatments such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT).
		Because the linear accelerators are so accurate, it is important that you remain very still during treatment, which usually lasts about 10 minutes.

	Stanford linear accelerator moves with the tide: 3/00
		Beams were focused to a 70-nanometer spot -- one-tenth the wavelength of visible light and about 20 times smaller than the typical beam size of the Stanford Linear Collider, an apparatus used in previous SLAC experiments.
		Options include cutting a tunnel in the dirt and covering it after it is filled with the accelerator pipe (the technique used for the SLAC linac) or boring a hole into bedrock (the method chosen for the now defunct Superconducting Supercollider in Texas).
		CERN scientists noticed tiny changes in the energy of the beam of particles in a machine called LEP (for Large Electron-Positron Collider), and, with the help of SLAC's Gerry Fischer (now deceased), were able to correlate these changes with the phases of the moon.

		Subcomponent models of waveguide pieces containing inductive irises and also subcomponent models of cells of linear accelerator structures were modeled in HFSS.
		The approach we are studying will be applicable to electron beams in linear accelerators rather than storage rings.

	symmetry - August 2005 - gallery: early linacs
		Following his war work in the east, Hansen returned to Stanford to refocus his microwave efforts on a linear accelerator with the objective of obtaining high particle energies for fundamental physics.
		At the same time, work on linear accelerators related to protons rather than electrons was started in Berkeley by Luis Alvarez and his associates, of whom I [W.K.H. "Pief" Panofsky] was one.
		In the late 1940s, that proton accelerator was a much larger device than Hansen's electron machines at Stanford because, for technical reasons, a frequency 15 times lower was chosen for its operation.

		Some of you may not be familiar with the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, but it an impressive place.
		In addition to being an amazing 2 mile long particle accelerator, it is also the longest building in the United States and is also claimed to be the world's straightest object.
		Looking down the giant klystron that sits above the accelerator you cannot see to the end of it because the vanishing point for the human eye is shorter than the two mile distance.

		The beam line is buried for environmental stability and to shield personnel and equipment from the intense microwave flux during operation.
		These klystrons accelerate electrons to a maximum of about 50 giga-electron-volts (GeV) energy; the electrons are collided with positrons of comparable energy, for a maximum total of around 100 GeV.
		The round, silvery beam pipe, about 2 cm in diameter, enters from the lower left and is joined to a copper accelerator segment in the middle of the photo.
