In their paper, «Higgs Seesaw Mechanism as a Source for Dark Energy,» Krauss and Dent explore how a possible small coupling between the Higgs particle, and possible new particles likely to be associated with what is conventionally called the Grand Unified Scale — a scale perhaps 16 orders of magnitude smaller than the size of a proton, at which the three known non-gravitational forces in nature might converge into a single theory — could result in the existence of another background field in nature in addition to the Higgs field, which would contribute an energy density to empty space of precisely the correct scale to correspond to the observed energy density.

«The very idea of using protons rather than electrons to move charge encounters intuitive resistance,» says John Roberts, an electrical engineer at Cambridge University in the U.K. «People know how to control electrons.

In October or soon after, 14 years after the project's initial approval and 10 years after construction began, a beam will be introduced traveling in the opposite direction, and ATLAS will tell scientists what happens when the protons collide at 7 TeV, a much higher energy than any manmade particle collision in history.

By using electron and positron beams instead of heavier protons, the ILC will allow physicists to probe particle properties with much greater precision than they can at the LHC.

It was to collide streams of protons at energies of up to 40 teraelectronvolts, more than a million times greater than the energies found in the Sun.

Slamming protons and antiprotons together at 40 tera - electron volts (40 trillion eV), the SSC would have put out more than enough energy to create the elusive Higgs boson, sometimes called the «God particle,» which gives other particles their mass.

By collecting and storing antiprotons for reinjection into the main accelerator, the 1.9 - mile (3.1 - kilometer) Permanent Magnet Antiproton Recycler Ring more than doubled the rate of proton — antiproton collisions the Tevatron could produce, allowing it to stay at the cutting edge of particle physics.
