Description
SLAC physicists. From left to right are physicists Luis Walter Alvarez, Bob Watt, Joseph Ballam and Wolfgang Kurt Hermann (Pief) Panofsky, SLAC's first director. They are standing in front of the 82 inch Liquid Hydrogen Bubble Chamber after its transfer from the University of California, Berkeley, to SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Laboratory), Stanford University, California. A bubble chamber is a vessel filled with a superheated transparent liquid (most often liquid hydrogen) used to detect electrically charged particles moving through it. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, originally named Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, is a U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory operated by Stanford University under the programmatic direction of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science and located in Menlo Park, California. The SLAC research program centers on experimental and theoretical research in elementary particle physics using electron beams and a broad program of research in atomic and solid-state physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine using synchrotron radiation.
