Primary mission focus is designing, constructing, and operating state-of-the-art electron accelerators and related experimental facilities to advance the boundaries of scientific understanding.
Areas of Research
Development and application of ultrafast X-ray science
X-ray probes of the electronic and atomic structure of matter
Understanding the fundamental forces of nature and the physics of the birth and evolution of the universe
Advancing the world’s electron accelerator capability
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), currently under construction.
LCLS, the world’s first X-ray free-electron laser, positions SLAC to become the world leader in the exciting new field of ultrafast X-ray science.
The Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL)
SSRL provides a resource to the user community for probing the electronic and atomic structure of matter.
The B-Factory
An electron-positron collider, completed operations in FY08, but an intensive data analysis program will continue for several years.
The Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope (FGST)
SLAC is home to the Instrument Operations Center for the Large Area
Telescope instrument on FGST formerly know as the Gamma Ray Large
Area Space Telescope (GLAST)
Ultrafast X-ray science
Directly observe the motions of atoms on ultrafast time scales
Investigate dynamics, bonding, heating and melting, at atomic and nanometer length scales
Create and observe extreme new conditions in atoms and materials
Imaging of nonperiodic molecules and nanostructured materials
World’s first X-ray free electron laser
Producing 100 femtosecond pulses of photons in the energy range 800-
8,000 eV
10^ 12 coherent X-ray photons/pulse
Potential for sub-femtosecond pulses
Lead nanoscale science revolution
Master control of energy-relevant complex systems
Lead the world in the investigation of dynamics of atomic transitions, chemical bonding, catalysis and heating

Effective Communication is very important
Credibility is your most important asset
First impressions are important
Engineering design, like life, is a series of compromises, you need to balance the priorities of the project with available resources
Engineering IS problem solving
