There are a couple of orders of magnitude...Ummmm... <BR/><BR/>There are a couple of orders of magnitude to cross (keeping the beam monochromatic) before making a multi-TeV electron collider -- and there's then the intensity and luminosity problem, which are key to looking for anything interesting (rare). <BR/><BR/>And then the question of detailed QCD studies with proton collisions arises. How to reach a CM energy of 14 TeV or greater with this benchtop apparatus -- and having luminosities of 10^34/cm/s...<BR/><BR/>Really, this is classic "New Scientist".Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439859351772686035noreply@blogger.com
