We are thrilled that Olof Hallonsten, PhD student at Lund University in Sweden, is diligently researching part of SLAC's history of photon science. His aim is to explore the multiple and complex relationships between scientific conduct in a laboratory and the characteristics of instrumentation and infrastructure through the case of synchrotron light facilities. He is using SSRL, MAX-lab, and ESRF as his case studies. We look forward to the completion of his thesis. For a peek at his work see “Why large research infrastructures can be built despite small investments? MAX-lab and the Swedish research infrastructure,” part of the SISTER working paper series, co-written with Mats Benner. 
Past spotlights Welcome!Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is one of the world's leading research laboratories. Established in 1962 at Stanford University in Menlo Park, California, our mission is to design, construct, and operate state-of-the-art electron accelerators and related experimental facilities for use in photon science, particle and astroparticle science, and high-energy physics research. SLAC's Archives and History Office ensures that SLAC's history is identified, collected, preserved and made accessible to the SLAC and Stanford communities, to researchers and the public. Founded in 1989, the AHO has primary responsibility for SLAC's documentary heritage, but relies on the SLAC community to help it in this endeavor. The SLAC Archives and History Office has the following responsibilities:
