Specific luminosity limit of e^{+}e^{-} colliding rings

The luminosity in flat-beam circular colliders is known to “saturate” at some “threshold” beam current above which (because the beam height grows) the luminosity varies (only) linearly with beam current, making both the specific luminosity (luminosity/current) and the beam-beam tune shift parameter...
