The world-famous SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is located in the USA. It is known to many people for its outstanding features. The purpose of this laboratory is diverse research in the field of elementary particle physics. In particular, research on solid-state physics, as well as atomic physics, can be carried out thanks to a modern laboratory. The principle of synchrotron radiation is the basis of many research programs carried out in the laboratory.
The unique underground accelerator is one of the main components of the laboratory. Its length is 3,200 meters. This is the world's longest linear accelerator. It was officially recognized as the straightest object in the world. A special electric vacuum gallery was equipped above the laboratory. It is the longest building on the territory of the United States from the time of construction to the present time.
The entrance to one of the most modern and unique laboratories in the world is available only to its employees. Huge rooms are divided into several tiers inside. Specialists' workplaces are equipped close to technical installations. Many people cannot even imagine how difficult it is to move around the territory of a huge underground complex for employees of the center. A beautifully landscaped garden is planted on the ground around the laboratory. Many trees are planted here. Beautiful landscape decorations are always formed on the territory of the garden in the warm season. This makes the unique SLAC laboratory quite different from many others that operate in other countries of the world.
