Today we had the opportunity to tour the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, originally named Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. It is operated by Stanford University for the United States Department of Energy (DOE).
The linear accelerator is 2 miles long, the longest linear accelerator in the world. Most notably, SLAC research has led to three Nobel prizes in physics.
* 1976 - Charm: The 4th Quark
* 1990 - Quarks: Structure of Protons and Neutrons
* 1995 - Tau Lepton
