Holiday Edition, 2006

Happy Holidays

from Keith Hodgson

As 2006 comes to a close and we enjoy a well earned break over the annual SLAC and Stanford holiday closure, please accept my seasonal greetings to you, your families and loved ones.

During this time of celebration, I encourage all of you to reflect back on what a momentous year it has been.

The first milestone occurred in March, when a prestigious group of scientists and politicians came together to celebrate the dedication of the Kavli Building. More recently, we celebrated the ground breaking of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) in the brilliant October sunshine with the help of a number of dignitaries from Stanford, the Department of Energy and our local congressional delegation. LCLS construction is now well underway along the linac, in the research yard and near the collider hall.  Read more...
