It has been optimized for tests of plasma wakefield acceleration with high energy beams of electrons or positrons with short duration pulses. It is open to all users that need such beams with access based on peer review of annually solicited proposals._def4bd0a-3ed6-11e4-9088-bdea82db4d5cLaser-Like RadiationProvide laser-like radiation in the x-ray region of the spectrum._def4bd6e-3ed6-11e4-9088-bdea82db4d5c2Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS)The LCLS at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) is the world's first hard x-ray free electron laser facility and became operational in June 2010. This is a milestone for x-ray user facilities that advances the state-of-the-art from storage-ring-based third generation synchrotron light sources to a fourth generation Linac-based light source. The LCLS provides laser-like radiation in the x-ray region of the spectrum that is 10 billion times greater in peak power and peak brightness than any existing coherent x-ray light source. The SLAC linac provides high-current, low-emittance 5–15 GeV electron bunches at a 120 Hz repetition rate. A newly constructed long undulator bunches the electrons, leading to self-amplification of the emitted x-ray radiation, constituting the x-ray FEL._def4bddc-3ed6-11e4-9088-bdea82db4d5cSynchrotron StudiesTake and use for synchrotron studies the intense x-ray beams from the SPEAR storage ring that was originally built for particle._def4be4a-3ed6-11e4-9088-bdea82db4d5c3Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Light Source (SSRL)The SSRL at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory was built in 1974 to take and use for synchrotron studies the intense x-ray beams from the SPEAR storage ring that was originally built for particle. The facility is used by researchers from industry, government laboratories, and universities. These include astronomers, biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, electrical engineers, environmental scientists, geologists, materials scientists, and physicists. A research program is conducted at SSRL with emphasis in both the x-ray and ultraviolet regions of the spectrum. SSRL scientists are experts in photoemission studies of high-temperature superconductors and in x-ray scattering. The SPEAR 3 upgrade at SSRL provided major improvements that increase the brightness of the ring for all experimental stations.AstronomersBiologistsChemical EngineersChemistsElectrical EngineersEnvironmental ScientistsGeologistsMaterials ScientistsPhysicists_def4beae-3ed6-11e4-9088-bdea82db4d5c2014-09-17https://www.data.gov/app/uploads/2014/06/DOE-Inventory.csvOwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
