Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC)

Physics; Particle physics

Located in Menlo Park, California, this Department of Energy laboratory is the site of the BaBar experiment.

Stanford Linear Collider (SLC)

Physics; Particle physics

This accelerator, located on the SLAC site, was completed in 1989 was used to study the Z-boson in detail.

Supernova/Acceleration Probe (SNAP)

Physics; Particle physics

A proposed satellite-based experiment for finding and studying supernovae. The characteristics of such supernovae have proved useful in studying dark energy.

Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO)

Physics; Particle physics

This experiment, located 2 km beneath the surface in an active nickel mine in Sudbury, Ontario, is currently searching for neutrino oscillations in an attempt to disentangle the Solar Neutrino ...

Solar Neutrino Problem

Physics; Particle physics

The number of neutrinos observed to be coming from the sun is much less than the number predicted based on our understanding of the sun's inner workings. This discrepancy is known as the solar ...

Special Relativity

Physics; Particle physics

Einstein discovered that time and space are interconnected. Height, width, length, and time make up the dimensions of space-time. The famous equation E=mc2 is a consequence of this theory.

One of four known fundamental forces (the others are the weak force, electromagnetism and gravity). The strong force is felt only by quarks and gluons, and is responsible for binding quarks together ...
