Aerial view of architect's model of SLAC (March 1982)
showing the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC) construction.
Interstate 280 crosses the upper right-hand corner of the
image. (SLAC slide 892) |

This watercolor cutaway of SLAC's linac shows the tunnel
where the beam runs underground; the above-ground structure
is the klystron gallery. (SLAC slide 497) |

Spark chamber pattern as it appears on a photographic
emulsion. Spark chambers are particle detectors in use from
the 1940s to the late 1950s. They photograph tracks of
sparks triggered by the passage of particles through the
detector. (M991, SLAC slide 450) |

Quadrupole magnets in the Positron Electron Project (PEP), a
2.2 km circumference storage ring at SLAC. A quadrupole is a
four pole magnet used to focus beams. PEP was reconfigured
1994-1997 to accommodate the B-factory experiment. (SLAC

Gandalf the Grey is the creation of SLAC Chief Engineer
(1960-1979) and sometime cartoonist Bob Gould. (91-038)
"The accelerators at SLAC and elsewhere are perhaps the
most complex instruments ever built. As examples of the
Forefront of technology, these machines operate in ways
that are very largely accessible to Rational Analysis.
Thus the occasions are rather infrequent when a problem
of some sort has to be referred to a practitioner of the
more Ancient Arts, such as the personage shown [here],
who is SLAC Special Consultant Gandalf the Grey."SLAC

accelerator-based HEP. Pief called Dr. Cheng the godfather of HEP in China. (GA3318) |
