Electron-electron collision: elastic or inelastic collision?
When electrons collide at almost the speed of light in a particle accelerator, do both electrons bounce back at almost the speed of light and continue traveling at the same speed as before the collision, or do they lose speed? Is the collision shock elastic or inelastic?

the relevant collisions are of course inelastic. you want to create other particles.
in the case of an elastic scatter, nothing happens except that the two particles fly away in other directions. You don't have anything.
(and I never heard of an electron collider. what you have are electron-positron collider)
and I would never have heard of an electron collider
How to know that an electron collision is not inelastic if there is no electron collider
I didn't say she wasn't inelastic. at high energy it is.
of course there are many measurements for electron scattering. that often occurs even if an electron scatters on an atom.
and I looked after: there were apparently even electron colliders. but the big particle accelerators that we operate today (or will build in the future) to study other particles and systems are never electron-electronics. but electron-positron, proton-proton, heavy formation, or in future perhaps muon-antimyon.
The publications (at least the last 20 years) are accessible.
for electron-proton and positron-proton scattering there are eg measurements of the OLYMPUS collaboration.

that in the case of particle collisions with high energy everything is possible is not presumed. that is exactly what you see day by day for day for decades in each experiment (and also happens in the atmosphere through the cosmic radiation).
Is the guess or there are sources from experiments that prove
Can you look at the results of such collisions somewhere
when the energy is high enough: everything that exists.
What arises in the collisions:
e- + e- →
e- + p →
e+ + p →
