Introduction
The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) was
founded in 1962, formerly known as Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. A brief
summary of the history and the facilities can be found on the
SLAC Virtual Visitor
Center. A unique arrangement at SLAC is that it is not only
a national laboratory but also a school in the academic system of Stanford
University with the SLAC director being the dean of the SLAC school. SLAC
faculty members in the
Particle
Physics and Astrophysics (PPA) faculty and
Photon Science
faculty also formally supervise Ph.D graduate students with student
enrollment through Stanford Physics Department and Applied Physics Department.
This web page contains information for students working with the SLAC PPA
faculty, including the associated accelerator physics research.
