Abstract :
This paper describes a method of extracting energy from the fusion events occurring between the collision of a beam of protons with a beam of ions of Boron 11. The two beams are circulating in separated and intersecting storage rings where they collide head-on in a common long-straight section. Requirements on the luminosity of the low-energy collider are shown. Limitations due to space-charge and intrabeam scattering are described. Very fast electron cooling is needed to compensate these effects
