Intersecting Beam Accelerator with Storage Ring

The idea of an intersecting beam accelerator is attractive for two reasons; first, much higher energies are obtained in the center of mass system than with one beam striking a stationary target, and second, collisions are observed directly in the center of mass system. The principal difficulty is the one of achieving sufficient intensity in the intersecting beams.
