Nobel Prize winners associated with SLAC

Several Nobel Prize winners have been associated with the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, located in California. Notably, in 2002, Raymond Davis Jr., who used SLAC's research to detect solar neutrinos, received the Nobel for work on neutrinos—tiny, elusive particles emitted by the sun. Additionally, researchers like James Chadwick, who discovered the neutron, worked at or with SLAC during their careers. These scientists' work advanced understanding of subatomic particles and fundamental forces, with SLAC providing cutting-edge technology and facilities that supported their groundbreaking discoveries in particle physics.
