If you need to shine an X-ray laser on something, say you want to examine the structure of a particular protein, or knock some electrons out of an atomic shell, well this is the place to go.

We had an awesome experience on a public tour on Friday afternoon. We got to see inside the experimental halls and accelerator building (though not the accelerator itself, which apparently is crazy radioactive while it's running, so... fair enough). The grad students that led the tour were very knowledgeable and great at explaining their work in a way that was still accessible.

Good

The SLAC tour is excellent! It gives a good view of the accelerator beam line, and a look inside one of the X-ray physics labs fed by LCLS. The guides were two Stanford physics grad students and they did an outstanding job. I'd love to see tours offered of other parts of SLAC, it's a fascinating place.

Fun

How in the world shipping & receiving department close at 3:30 PM,
I'm a truck driver, I drove from Birmingham Alabama to SLAC Menlo Park California, 2300 Miles loaded with a 44000 Lbs, I made it at 4 PM on Friday 03/29/2019,
The security were very polite and helpful, but, they have nothing to do simply because the shipping and receiving department is closed at 3:30 PM yes 3:30 PM,
I've been told come back on Monday 04/01/2019 at 7 AM, by the way the closest Pilot truck station is 89 Miles away.

Great place for X-ray crystallography and spectroscopy. There are so many experts here and the support staff is amazing. If you are lucky to get a room in the Stanford Guest House, your time is much more well spent and convenient. I also really liked their on-site gym.
