The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) has been a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Energy and Stanford University since its inception in 1962. Readers may want to start with the About section, where they can peruse the history of the center, including resident scientists' discovery of quarks, the J/psi particle, and the tau lepton. In total, researchers at SLAC have received six Nobel Prizes and hundreds of other important awards. Back on the homepage, have a look at the Multimedia section, where you can watch a short video about accelerating particles with plasma and watch a lecture on profiling molecules with x-rays. The Headlines and SLAC in the News sections feature articles concerning the latest events, awards, history, and breakthroughs at the laboratory.
