Experimental Facilities at SLAC

SLAC has the following major experimental facilities:

The linac, a three-kilometer (or two-mile) long linear accelerator, capable of producing electron and positron beams with energies up to 50 GeV.
End Station A (ESA) for fixed target experiments.
SPEAR, a storage ring 80 meters in diameter now used as the synchrotron radiation source for SSRL.
PEP, a 30 GeV colliding-beam storage ring, 800 meters in diameter, now being upgraded to PEP-II, which will serve as a B meson factory, colliding 9 GeV electrons with 3.1 GeV positrons.
SLC, a 100 GeV electron-positron linear collider, and SLD, the collider detector.
Final Focus Test Beam, a facility for research on future accelerator design.
