This is an aerial photograph of Fermilab near Batavia. Prominent is the lab's circular particle accelerator, which is four miles in circumference. Fermilab is in contention to be the site of a 20-mile linear accelerator.

BATAVIA -- Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is an early contender for the next big thing in physics: a 20-mile particle speedway where matter and anti-matter would collide and, scientists hope, reveal secrets of the universe. The Linear Collider is an international project that would cost $4 billion to $10 billion. If approved, construction near the lab would begin between 2007 and 2010 and take about six years.

Depending on what design is used, the accelerator would ...
