Photon Science Seminar Series | Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource

SLAC’s Photon Science Seminar Series brings together scientists from SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source, Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, Photon Science and Accelerator directorates, including researchers from the Center for Sustainable Energy through Catalysis and two joint SLAC-Stanford institutes: the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences and the Pulse Institute for Ultrafast Energy Science.

The seminar series’ main goals are to stimulate scientific exchange within the photon science community at SLAC, and to make people aware of both the science that’s underway using the SSRL and LCLS machines and the capabilities they offer.

Speakers are invited by three representatives: Giacomo Coslovich, LCLS, Adi Natan, Photon Science and James Cryan, PULSE.

Attending a Lecture

The lectures take place every Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. in SLAC’s Building 901 Redtail Hawk conference room. Every presentation will be preceded by 15 minutes of informal discussion over cookies and coffee, and will be followed by time for anyone in the audience to share recent results or exciting experimental techniques.

If you do not have a SLAC badge, please contact Kaitlyn Layaoen. She will notify SLAC Security that you are attending a lecture and send you directions to the conference room.

SLAC is located at 2575 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park, CA. 94025. Please visit our Maps and Directions page for driving directions to the laboratory.

If you have specific questions or concerns about attending a lecture, please contact Kaitlyn Layaoen.
