Summary edit

Description

STATION A IN TARGET AREA AT STANFORD LINEAR ACCELERATOR CENTER.

THE CENTER'S MAIN RESEARCH INSTRUMENT IS A 2-MILE-LONG LINEAR ELECTRON ACCELERATOR THAT CAN PRODUCE INTENSE BEAMS OF ELECTRONS AT ENERGIES UP TO 22 BILLION ELECTRON VOLTS (GEV), OR PRODUCE BEAMS OF POSITRONS WITH ENERGIES UP TO 15 GEV. SLAC RESEARCHERS CONDUCT EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL RESEARCH IN HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS, AND DEVELOPMENTAL WORK IN NEW TECHNIQUES FOR PARTICLE ACCELERATION AND FOR EXPERIMENTAL INSTRUMENTATION. SLAC FACILITIES INCLUDE THE ACCELERATOR, LARGE EXPERIMENTAL DETECTION DEVICES USED IN PARTICLE PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS (INCLUDING BUBBLE AND STREAMER CHAMBERS AND SEVERAL MAGNETIC SPECTROMETERS), A TRIPLEX COMPUTATION FACILITY, AND AN ELECTRON-POSITRON COLLIDING- BEAM STORAGE RING (SPEAR) HAVING A MAXIMUM SINGLE-BEAM ENERGY OF 4 GEV.
