SLAC’s Blair Ratcliff Wins American Physical Society’s Instrumentation Award
The emeritus physicist was honored for the development of novel detectors that have greatly advanced experiments in particle physics, especially BABAR, which looked into the matter-antimatter imbalance of the universe.
Q&A: SLAC’s Vera Lüth Discusses the Search for New Physics
Data from the BABAR, Belle and LHCb experiments hint at phenomena beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.
SLAC’s Historic Linac Turns 50 and Gets a Makeover
The lab’s signature particle highway prepares to enter another era of transformative science as the home of the LCLS-II X-ray laser.
Symmetry: Charge-Parity Violation
Matter and antimatter behave differently. Scientists hope that investigating how might someday explain why we exist.
Jonathan Dorfan and David Hitlin Receive 2016 Panofsky Prize
The American Physical Society has recognized both researchers for their leading role in SLAC’s BABAR experiment, which confirmed theorists’ description of how nature treats matter and antimatter differently.
Construction of LSST Clean Room at SLAC Completed
SLAC scientists and engineers celebrated the completion of a new clean room, where the lab will assemble the camera of the future Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.
Symmetry: Giant Magnet to Map Melted Matter
A 20-ton superconducting magnet has completed its journey from California to New York.
SLAC and Stanford's James D. Bjorken Shares 2015 Wolf Prize in Physics
Honored for early theoretical predictions that helped elucidate the nature of the strong force and the structure of the proton, he is still shaking things up today.
Symmetry: 20-Ton Magnet Heads to New York
A superconducting magnet begins its journey from SLAC laboratory in California to Brookhaven Lab in New York.
Is the Higgs Boson a Piece of the Matter-Antimatter Puzzle?
Experiments have helped explain some of the imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe, but not all of it. Now a SLAC theorist and his colleagues have laid out a possible method for determining if the Higgs boson is involved.
