The LHC measures around 17 miles in circumference. TAU's accelerators, in contrast, are expected to measure no longer than a few shipping containers.

"CERN accelerates protons and antiprotons, while the machines that we are looking at, at least to start with, we're going to be concentrating on electrons," Hegelich said
Seems like even if the Sydney papers (2021) were right, an electron gun like this enables more machine configurations at a few shipping container sizes

The Large Hadron Collider accelerates protons and heavier nuclei, but not antiprotons.

The article is sparse on technical details. It would have been nice with some numbers about the length of the devices and the energies reached.
