Stanford Linear Accelerator Center

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is a research facility that conducts experiments in particle physics and materials science using high-energy accelerators. Located on the campus of Stanford University, SLAC is one of the world's leading centers for accelerator-based research. The laboratory operates several advanced accelerators, including the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), which produces X-ray laser pulses for studying materials at the atomic level.
