has definition It is distinguished by having a 2-mile-long linear accelerator in which electrons and positrons can be accelerated for subsequent injection into storage rings such as PEP, an e+e- collider which was commissioned in 1980. It was in the SPEAR rings at SLAC that the J / ψ meson and the τ lepton were first observed in the mid-1970s. However, the most fascinating of SLAC's facilities is the novel SLC (Stanford Linear Collider), consisting of the old linear accelerator together with two new collider arcs. | ![has source: Coughlan, G.D., Dodd, J.E. 1999 The Ideas of Particle Physics, Cambridge University Press, 2001-09-27 09:32:26.0 has source: Coughlan, G.D., Dodd, J.E. 1999 The Ideas of Particle Physics, Cambridge University Press, 2001-09-27 09:32:26.0](facet.gif) |
