Excerpt
Excerpt: The accelerator known as the SSC (Superconducting Super Collider) is a bold idea that will enable a giant step forward in high-energy physics. Within a circular ring fifty to one hundred miles around, two proton beams will collide and liberate enough energy to create new particles up to fifty times heavier than the weak bosons. These energies are necessary to go beyond the plateau of understanding summarized by the standard model. Specific issues to be addressed include the mechanism for breaking the symmetry between electromagnetic and weak interactions, the possibility that quarks and Ieptons are composite particles, and the existence of quark- Iepton families heavier than those now known.
