SLAC
Stanford Linear Accelerator Center
SLAC, located just south of San Francisco, is the longest linear
accelerator in the world. It accelerates electrons and positrons
down its 2-mile length to various targets, rings and detectors at
its end. The PEP ring shown is being rebuilt for the
B factory, which will study some of the
mysteries of antimatter using B mesons. Related physics will be done
at Cornell with CESR and at KEK in Japan.
