Shown is a portion of SLAC's two-mile-long linear accelerator (or linac), which
provides the electron beam for the new Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) –the world’s first hard x-ray, free-electron laser. For nearly 50 years, SLAC's linac
had produced high-energy electrons for physics experiments. Now researchers
use the very intense X-ray pulses (more than a billion times brighter than themost powerful existing sources) much like a high-speed camera to take stopmotion pictures of atoms and molecules in motion, examining fundamental
processes on femtosecond timescales.

Scientific User Facilities
 The world’s largest collection of scientific user facilities (akaresearch infrastructure) operated by a single organization in
the world, used by more than 30,000 researchers each year.

SC Contributes to Five FY 2017 DOE Crosscuts
Advanced Materials (Adv Mat): Identified as a priority in both the 2015 QTR and the QER, activities in the Adv Mat
crosscut address faster development of new materials and reductions in the cost of materials qualification in clean
energy applications, from discovery through deployment. New activities emphasize DOE-wide efforts in (1) materials
design and synthesis, (2) applied design, (3) process scale-up, (4) qualification, and (5) digital data and informatics.
Exascale Computing Initiative (ECI): Activities in the ECI crosscut, a partnership between SC and NNSA, address
accelerating R&D to overcome key challenges in parallelism, energy efficiency, and reliability, leading to deployment of
exascale systems in the mid-2020s. In addition to underpinning DOE’s missions in science and national security, thecomputational capabilities developed in the ECI also will support R&D in DOE’s applied energy technology areas, as
described in the 2015 QTR.
Subsurface Technology and Engineering RD&D (Subsurface): Activities in the Subsurface crosscut address
coordinated research in Wellbore Integrity, Stress State and Induced Seismicity, Permeability Manipulation, New
Subsurface Signals, and Risk Assessment Tools. Over 80 percent of our total energy supply comes from thesubsurface; the goals of this crosscut are enhanced energy security, reduced impact on climate change via CO2
sequestration, and significantly mitigated environmental impacts from energy-related activities and operations.
Energy-Water Nexus (EWN): The EWN crosscut addresses the transition to more resilient energy and coupledenergy-water systems. The EWN crosscut supports: (1) an advanced, integrated data, modeling, and analysis
platform to improve understanding and inform decision-making; (2) investments in targeted technology researchoffering the greatest potential for impact; and (3) policy analysis and stakeholder engagement designed to build fromand strengthen the two preceding areas while motivating community involvement and response.
Cybersecurity: The Department of Energy (DOE) is engaged in two categories of cyber-related activities: protecting
the DOE enterprise from a range of cyber threats that can adversely impact mission capabilities and improving
cybersecurity in the electric power subsector and the oil and natural gas subsector. The cybersecurity crosscut
supports central coordination of the strategic and operational aspects of cybersecurity and facilitates cooperative
efforts such as the Joint Cybersecurity Coordination Center (JC3) for incident response and the implementation of
Department-wide Identity Control and Access Management (ICAM).
