STANFOtU) SYNCHROTRON RADIATION LABORATORY 



Stanford Linear Accelerator Center 



Stanford University and U.S. Dept. of Energy 



"Big Science" Descriptor : Materials science 



Description of Facility/Instrument : This laboratory uses SPEAR (4.0 

 GeV) and PEP (16 GeV) rings for synchrotron ganuna radiation for 

 atomic physics, biological sciences, chemical sciences, materials 

 sciences, industrial processing, and medical sciences. These are 

 run in a parasitic mode with the high-energy physics research 

 facility of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. 



Date of Construction : (See below.) 



Construction Cost : (See below.) 



Present International Cooperation 



Nationality(s) of Ownership : U.S. 

 Nationality(s) of Operational Funding ; U.S. 

 Nationallty(s) of Management Staff : U.S. 



Nationallty(s) of Researchers : Primarily U.S. with occasional 

 foreign collaborators. 



This facility is used for many international research 

 collaborations. 



Other Information : Construction costs are not readily available. The 

 facility initially began operation in a parasitic mode on the 

 SPEAR ring of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. It was 

 built over a number of years on a piecemeal basis by the National 

 Science Foundation.
