SLAC IS 40 YEARS OLD. On October 2 the anniversary of
SLAC's founding was
observed at a large gathering
(http://www-conf.slac.stanford.edu/40years/ )
The Stanford Linear Acceleration Center has been the scene
of many notable
strides in physics, including the deep inelastic scattering
of electrons
from a hydrogen target (helping to establish the existence
of quarks inside
protons and neutrons), the discovery of the Psi meson
(helping to establish
the existence of charm quarks; similar research was
performed simultaneously
at Brookhaven), the discovery of the tau lepton, studies of
the Z boson
(suggesting a limit on the number of quarks and leptons),
and most recently
studies of B meson decay (exhibiting a violation of CP
conservation).

Another cheap ripoff of US.
