About the Science Directorate

Accelerator control room
We operate the existing accelerators at SLAC, and provide the highest level of performance.
Linac
We improve the capability of existing accelerators, and support the construction of new ones.
cryomodule
We develop enabling technologies for existing and future accelerators.
Building 52
We maintain and develop technology infrastructure to serve SLAC's mission and the DOE complex.
Klystron Gallery tour
We educate the next generation of accelerator scientists and engineers.
Prev Next

The Accelerator Directorate's vision is to create an environment that fosters world leading accelerator science and technologies for future accelerators while enabling user research and accelerator R&D programs today.
