This will not do. A charge cannot be made to move at >c between the plates of a condensor (which is effectively what an accelerator is). It requires infinfite energy to raise its speed to c wrt those plates. The reason: the charge's own movement creates a reverse field that subtracts from the applied field. The associated energy is contained in 'Wilson's reverse field bubble' that is carried along with the charge. >Hilarious, no? :-) Major scientific discoveries shouldn't be referred to as 'hilarious' but throughout history, that has frequently happened.
