LINEAR COLLIDER

In the past, larger and larger circular particle accelerators and colliders have brought us at each step to higher energies and new discoveries of physics at very short distances. Now, the development of a linear collider represents yet another major step in our ability to accelerate and collide very light particles, like electrons and positrons, at high energies, which paves the way to new insights into how our world works. The technologies for a linear collider have been developed through an ambitious global R&D programme.

Also known as: International Linear Collider
