Howdy Steven,
Ah! Stanford,
Yes ! It is housed in the huge building the size of the domed stadium.
Seems they were actually working on a death ray gun and /or super rail gun
rather than for the pure love of science.Funny thing is that 4 grad students
duplicated the process using a series of table top pc's arranged for a FEL
effect.. The report on this leaked out several years ago. They even had
Boeing believing the thing would work and tried building it into a 747. Only
demonstrates what a person can do with enough toys and money.
They are still trying to wipe the egg off their face. Meanwhile the Russians
and Isrealis have a working device that would scare the daylights out of
you.

Coincidentally, I saw one of these mythical accelerators firsthand (well,
from the 280 freeway) a few weeks ago when I was driving by Stanford.
Pretty cool looking high tech thing.
