    The Inner Workings of CDF

    The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) is committed to studying high-energy particle collisions at the world’s highest energy proton-antiproton collider. The goal is to discover the identity and properties of the particles that make up the universe and to understand the forces and interactions between those particles.

    LCLS in Miniature

    This recent shot, taken from a radio tower (the highest point at the lab), shows the LCLS Near Experimental Hall tucked among SLAC's rolling hills, with Stanford University's Hoover Tower and the San Francisco Bay in the distance. The image makes use of a technique called "tilt-shift miniature," in which focus and color have been manipulated to make objects appear small or toy-like.
