John Sarrao named director of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Physicist and scientific leader John Sarrao will become SLAC’s sixth director. He succeeds X-ray scientist Chi-Chang Kao, who stepped down after 10 years in the position.
Researchers pair machine-learning techniques with beam physics equations to predict a beam’s distribution of particle positions and velocities as it zips through an accelerator.
SLAC researchers are turning seawater into hydrogen fuel
A SLAC-Stanford team pulled hydrogen directly from ocean water. Their work could help generate low-carbon fuel for electric grids and other infrastructure.
Detailed measurements of the X-ray emissions from galaxy clusters helped Stanford and SLAC Lab scientists test the prevailing theory of the structure and evolution of the universe.
