The Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) provides synchrotron radiation, a name given to X-rays or light produced by electrons circulating in a storage ring at nearly the speed of light. These extremely bright X-rays can be used to investigate various forms of matter ranging from objects of atomic and molecular size to man-made ...

🥳 On April 20, we celebrated 50 years of transformative science at Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (#SSRL). The event acknowledged the people who have made our synchrotron facility at SLAC the place it is today. The partnerships between SSRL users and …

Contact SSRL scientists to help answer questions about the accelerator (SPEAR3), beam lines, capabilities, science or techniques. Research teams can request many beam lines and techniques in a single proposal and are encouraged to plan accordingly.

The Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), a Directorate of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC), is an Office of Science User Facility operated for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) by Stanford University. Located in Menlo Park, California, SLAC is a multi-program national laboratory exploring frontier questions in ...

2025年2月21日 · SSRL is a pioneering synchrotron radiation facility known for outstanding science, technological innovation and user support. It provides extremely bright X-rays that scientists use for a wide range of research that probes …

SSRL is a National User Facility which provides synchrotron radiation, a name given to electromagnetic radiation in the x-ray, ultraviolet, visible and infrared realms produced by electrons circulating in a storage ring (Stanford Positron Electron Asymmetric Ring - SPEAR) at nearly the speed of light. The extremely bright light that is produced ...

Discover the major scientific facilities at SLAC, including three DOE Office of Science user facilities. Our original 2-mile-long particle accelerator, built half a century ago for groundbreaking particle physics research, has been repurposed as the world’s first hard X-ray free-electron laser and a testbed for next-generation accelerator ...

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, originally named the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, [2][3] is a federally funded research and development center in Menlo Park, California, United States. Founded in 1962, the laboratory is now sponsored by the United States Department of Energy and administrated by Stanford University.

SSRL offers more than 30 experimental stations, supporting a variety of techniques including: macromolecular crystallography, soft and hard x-ray microscopy, microXAS imaging, x-ray scattering and diffraction, photoemission spectroscopy and x …

Macromolecular Crystallography is a technique used to study biological molecules such as proteins, viruses and nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) to a resolution higher than ~5Å. This high resolution helps elucidate the detailed mechanism by which these macromolecules carry out their functions in living cells and organisms.
