A New Possible Linear Accelerator at Cern

A new possible linear accelerator for electrons and positrons -- like the linear (straight line accelerator at Stanford University, now officially called 'SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory') is in the planning stage at CERN.  This straight line -- as opposed to a ring-shaped accelerator like the LHC) would accelerate electrons and their 'opposing' positron particles to almost the speed of light in opposite directions, and then whack them together, potentially yielding much amusement, doctoral theses and maybe even yet another glimpse into what all this universe thing is all about...
