Period: This piece was not actually used in the accelerator. Cette pièce n'a jamais été utilisé dans l'accélérateur.
Canada: The copper cavity belonged to Richard E. Taylor, member of the Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame, who was inducted in April 2008. La cavité en cuivre appartenait à Richard E. Taylor, membre du "Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame" (Temple de la renommé des sciences et du génie du Canada), qui a été introduit en avril 2008.
Function: Used with other similar discs and cylinders that, when attached together, are used to accelerate particles. The higher energy of the accelerated particles allows scientists to probe the structure of matter. Utilisé avec autres disques et cylindres similaires, lorsque attaché ensemble, utilisé pour accélérer des particules. Le grand montant d'énergie des particules accélérer permet aux scientifiques de sonder la structure de la matière.
Technical: The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is home to a two mile long linear accelerator - the longest in the world. Originally a particle physics research center, SLAC is now a multipurpose laboratory for astrophysics, photon science, accelerator and particle physics research. Six scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize for work carried out at SLAC and the future of the laboratory promises to be just as extraordinary. Le "Stanford Linear Accelorator Center (SLAC)" comprends un accélérateur linéaire qui s'étend deux miles de long - le plus long au monde. Originalement un centre de recherche de particule physique, SLAC est maintenant devenu un laboratoire à plusieurs utilités pour l'astrophysique, la science des photons, et recherche particule physique et accélératrice.
Area Notes: Unknown
