Design Starting For Matter-Antimatter Collider

Posted by samzenpus on from the dump-the-warp-core dept.

couch_warrior writes "The Register is carrying a story on the early design efforts for the next generation of high-energy particle accelerators. They will be linear, and will collide matter and antimatter in the form of electrons and positrons. The obvious question will be: once we have a matter-antimatter reactor, how long till we have warp drive, and will the Vulcans show up for a sneak-peak?"

    Per hundred billion, not per proton. Hence "still ain't a lot".

    (I started at about 10^9 eV per proton, times 10^11, converted to joules.)

    No kidding!!! What do you say at this point?
