The SF Chronicle has run an article today regarding DOE’s desire to change the name of SLAC [1]. Sounds like the buzz is growing. It also sounds like a popular solution is to have “SLAC” continue to be the name, while probably standing for something other than “Stanford Linear Accelerator Center”. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

At least this solution prevents the lab from having to spend amounts of money and employee time to change all the web addresses of the lab! That seems like a lot of money to waste just to change a name. I’d hate to see the BaBar experiment’s data analysis grind to a terrific halt just because “slac.stanford.edu” goes away, which I’d speculate is possible should DOE seek to cut ties with Stanford’s name in the lab name.<\/p>\n
