MULTIPLE SCATTERING OF 600-Mev ELECTRONS IN THIN FOILS
The beam of the Stanford Mark III linear accelerator was used to measure the width of the angular distribution of electrons multiply scattered in thin Dc, Al, and Au foils. The results are in agreement with the predictions of the Moliere theory. (auth)

Transport Systems for High Intensity Beams
High intensities pose new problems in the design of transport systems. Induced radioactivity, radiation damage to materials, radiation induced chemical reactions, and heating problems are discussed. Proposed solutions to these problems for the Stanford Linear Accelerator transport systems in the beam switchyard are outlined.

SEARCH FOR T-VIOLATION IN THE INELASTIC SCATTERING OF ELECTRONS FROM A POLARIZED PROTON TARGET.
The authors have searched for an asymmetry in the inelastic scattering of electrons from a polarized proton target in the region of resonance excitation, at values of four-momentum transfer squared of 0.4, 0.6 and 1.0 (GeV/c){sup 2}. Data were also taken using an incident positron beam in order to distinguish any possible effect of time-reversal violation from that due to higher-order ({alpha}{sup 3}) contributions to the scattering. No sizeable violation of time-reversal invariance was found.

POSITIVE PION PRODUCTION BY POLARIZED BREMSSTRAHLUNG
By selecting bremsstrahlung produced in a 0.003-in. aluminum radiator at a small angle from the original electron direction, a beam of polarized bremsstrahlung has been obtained from the Stanford linear accelerator. The variation of the polarization and intensity with angle was studied and compared with theoretical predictions. The polarized beam has been used to study pi /sup +/-meson production at 90 deg c.m. angle and photon energies of 242, 296. 337. and 376 Mev. The ratio of meson production along and at right angles to the electric field vector has been measured and compared wiih the values predicted by the relativistic dispersion relation. (auth)

The discovery of the point–like structure of matter
About 30 years ago, experiments began to confirm the hypothesis that protons (and the other hadrons) could be treated as composites of much smaller ‘point–like’ elements. Electron–proton scattering experiments at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center played a prominent role in the shifting view of hadron structure. In this paper, I have tried to convey some flavour of our experimental efforts and our interactions with theorists both before and during the experiments.

Focusing Electron Beams at SLAC.
I have always heard that a beam of electrons could be focused with magnets. While that seemed to make good sense, I had no clear idea of exactly how that could be done until I began spending my summers at SLAC, the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. SLAC is operated for the U.S. Department of Energy by Stanford University, and it is located at the base of the foothills south of San Francisco, California.
