The '''BaBar experiment''', or simply '''BaBar''', is an international collaboration of more than 500 physicists and engineers studying the subatomic world at energies of approximately ten times the rest mass of a proton (~10&nbsp;[[Electronvolt|GeV]]). Its design was motivated by the investigation of [[CP symmetry|charge-parity violation]]. BaBar is located at the [[Stanford Linear Accelerator|SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory]], which is operated by [[Stanford University]] for the [[United States Department of Energy|Department of Energy]] in [[California]].
