Book excerpt: The luminosity of a ring-ring electron-ion collider is limited by the beam-beam effect on the electrons. Simulation studies have shown that for short ion bunches this limit can be significantly increased by head-on beam-beam compensation via an electron lens. However, due to the large beam-beam parameter experienced by the electrons, together with an ion bunch length comparable to the beta-function at the IP, electrons perform a sizeable fraction of a betatron oscillation period inside both the long ion bunches and the electron lens. Recent results of our simulation studies of this effect will be presented.
