Taking down a giant: 699 tons of SLAC’s accelerator removed for upgrade
From SLAC, Jan. 31, 2017: A full kilometer of SLAC’s historic linac has been stripped of all its equipment. Over the next two years it will be re-equipped with new technology to power an X-ray laser, LCLS-II. Fermilab and Jefferson Lab are building the cryomodules for its superconducting portion.
Prototype of LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter detector tested at SLAC
From SLAC, June 1, 2016: Fermilab is one of the collaborating groups preparing to build an ultrasensitive ‘eye’ for an elusive form of matter.

The first cryomodule for SLAC’s future light source, LCLS-II, is on schedule to be delivered at the end of the year.
Shrinking the accelerator
Scientists plan to use a newly awarded grant to develop a shoebox-sized particle accelerator in five years.
Fermilab attains unprecedented quality factor for LCLS-II accelerator cavity
Members of Fermilab’s Technical Division recently achieved a record-high quality factor with a fully dressed cavity for a SLAC-headed project, Linac Coherent Light Source II.
