Abstract
By 1987, two very large colliding-beam accelerators, LEP at CERN and SLC at SLAC, should be providing high-energy physicists with 100-GeV collisions of electrons and positrons. But what of the next generation? With the 27-km-circumference LEP storage ring costing about $400 million and consuming as much electrical power as a city of 150 000 souls, can one really afford to build significantly larger e−e+ accelerators at the turn of the next century?Keywords
