In 1962 the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (now the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) began with the Congressional authorizati on of its two-mile long linear accelerator\, the first $100 million scienc e project. The science mission was the study of the interaction of high-en ergy electron with matter\, a study that had brought Robert Hofstadter his 1961 Nobel Prize for his work at the much smaller linear accelerator at t he Hanson lab on the main Stanford Campus. The first beam was delivered in 1966\, a remarkably short construction time for such a large project. The era of what is called High Energy Physics had begun at Stanford.

A combination of advances in accelerators\, detectors\, and scientific bre adth has kept SLAC at the frontier of science ever since\, though the area s of research have changed greatly now including chemistry\, materials\, b iology\, cosmology\, and many other sciences as well as the original high energy physics. Four Nobel Prizes have been awarded for work at SLAC and t oday it is generally regarded as the world’\;s leading laboratory for photon science because of it X-ray laser. Professor Richter will discuss both the science and technology evolution that made all this possible. Pa nofsky Auditorium.
