SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center)

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is a scientific research facility in California that produces high-energy electron beams. These beams are used to explore the fundamental particles of matter and the forces that govern them. Scientists at SLAC conduct experiments in particle physics, materials science, and biology, using advanced techniques to investigate everything from the tiniest subatomic particles to complex biological systems. Established in 1962, SLAC is known for its powerful linear accelerator, which is one of the longest in the world, enabling cutting-edge research that contributes to our understanding of the universe.
