Compare the efficiency of a colliding-beam accelerator with that of an accelerator in which the particles strike a target made up of identical stationary particles. |

Answer» `varphi=2varphi_c(2+evarphi_c//epsilon_0)` where `varphi`is the accelerating potential in a conventional accelerator, and pc is the accelerating potential in a colliding-beam accelerator. Clearly, for `evarphi_c ltlt epsilon_0` acolliding-beam accelerator is ineffective since the accelerating potential of a conventional accelerator is only four TIMES greater than in the CASE of a colliding-beam accelerator. But in the ultra-relativistic case, when `epsilonvarphi_0 gt gt epsilon_0` the colliding-beam accelerator is very effective. |
