About Photon Science Seminars

About

Founded in 2011, SLAC’s Photon Science Seminar Series brings together scientists from SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), 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 these representatives: Giacomo Coslovich, LCLS; Adi Natan, Photon Science; James Cryan, PULSE; Mianzhen Mo, ESD  and Makoto Hashimoto, SSRL.

Attending a Lecture
The lectures take place every Wednesday at 3:00pm in SLAC's Building 901 Redtail Hawk conference room, unless noted otherwise. Every presentation will be preceded by 15 minutes of informal discussion, 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 Mia Song. 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 conference room.
