While others have recently concentrated on circular accelerators, he has touted the merits of linear models. His latest machine shoots streams of electrons and positrons down a straightaway and then loops them through two semicircular sections onto a collision course. Linear accelerators cannot produce nearly as many collisions as do circular models of comparable power, but Richter claims that the noncircular approach can be an economical way to make discoveries in the vanguard of physics...
