Accelerators Center

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, administered by Stanford University, was founded in 1962 as a center for experimental particle physics, but it took until 1966 for its first linear accelerator to be completed. The Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratoiy, built a decade later, became part of SLAC in 1992. Unlike many of other national laboratories that greatly expanded their mission through the years, SLAC always remained a national basic energy research laboratoiy.

Injection of a drug that causes a fall in the mean arterial blood pressure triggers diametrically opposite reflex changes. There is decreased impulse traffic from the cardiac inhibitory center, stimulation of the cardiac accelerator center, and augmented vasomotor center activity. These changes in cardiac and vasomotor center activity accelerate the heart and increase sympathetic transmission to the vasculature thus, the drug-induced fall in blood pressure is opposed and blunted.

The Office of Science also manages the 10 laboratories within the national laboratory system that was created over half a century ago. Eive of the laboratories are multiprogram facilities Argonne National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The other five laboratories are singleprogram national laboratories Ames Laboratory, Eermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Eacility, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, and Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center has three giant particle spectrometers, which are used to detect subatomic particles of different energies. This is the largest linear accelerator in the world.
