Building on team-science traditions that go back to the deepest roots of the Laboratory, we strive to be a partner of choice in applying accelerator technologies to the most challenging problems at scales ranging from the laboratory bench to major and often multi-institutional projects.

High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider Accelerator Upgrade Project (HL-LHC-AUP)

Several copper colored superconducting wire strands in a winding machine that forms them into a compact flat cable

Leveraging expertise in state-of-the-art superconducting magnets as part of a multi-laboratory project to enhance the productivity of the Large Hadron Collider for discovery science in high-energy physics.

Taking Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II) to Higher Energies

Two scientists work on a magnet array on a large workbench

Reprising our role in the Linac Coherent Light Source II project (an X-ray free-electron laser facility at SLAC) by designing soft-X-ray undulators and low-level RF control systems for its high-energy upgrade.

Upgrading the Advanced Light Source

Computer-aided design rendering shows the layout of technical components in the upgraded ALS

Working with the Laboratory’s Advanced Light Source Upgrade Project to design, build, and commission a state-of-the-art re-envisioning of its accelerator complex that will power discovery science for decades.

LaserNetUS
