I claim that the maximum speeds would be the same, but the accelerator will be less efficient at higher temperatures as a result of the counterforce provided by the increase in Doppler-shifted photons. This is a result of the increase in photon density at higher temperatures.

While some accelereators run at 2.7 K (e.g. Jefferson Lab LINAC), others run at 300 K (Stanford LINAC). Accelerator operatirs at the two labs could compare their electric bills and see which one is more efficient...although I would prefer to see a dedicated experiment--even using the simple setup us...

The test of my theory is to see if the impulse necessary to accelerate electrons to a given velocity is temperature dependent. I predict that the greater the ambiant temperature in the accelerator, the greater the counterforce produced by the Doppler-shifted photons and consequently the greater the ...
