Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC)

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is a world-renowned research facility in California, primarily focused on particle physics. It houses a two-mile-long linear accelerator that propels electrons and positrons to nearly the speed of light. This allows scientists to collide these particles and study fundamental forces and particles of the universe. SLAC plays a significant role in advancing our understanding of matter, energy, and the universe's origins. It also conducts research in areas like photon science and biology, making it a versatile hub for both fundamental and applied sciences.
