With these funds, the CEA could begin running high energy experiments by the fall of 1968. Many of the experiments have already been thought out. They will test the basic laws of physics--and, according to Francis M. Pipkin, professor of Physics, they may break them...
...Until now, we've studied cases that confirmed our theory--quantum electrodynamics--and that's been the end of it," Pipkin explained. "We know of events the theory doesn't predict accurately, but we can't do anything with them if we can't correct the theory...
...higher energy would come from the collision of two moving subnuclear particles--an electron and a positron. Normal accelerator experiments send a particle into a stationary target. But these cohisions, Pipkin said, can only take place in a "ring" where both particles are stored--which could cost as much as $16 million to build. The CEA instead would make a giant storage ring out of its accelerator by adding an injector for positrons to the present one for electrons. The two particles would rotate in opposite directions. At a given point the two streams could be made to collide...
