Hi All,
Protons repel each other and in order to make them collide in the LHC huge amounts of energy have to be put in place, my question is; if we launch a beam of electrons transversal to the beam of protons and right in the collision point of the protons, would not this increase the energy at which the protons collide since the electrons would minimize the protons repulsion?
I imaging that to be able to squeeze a beam of electrons there we would also need lots of energy but I wonder if it would pay off.
Thank you.
