Question:

In a fixed-target experiment, high-energy charged particles from an accelerator are smashed into a stationary target. By contrast, in a colliding beam experiment, two beams of particles are accelerated to high energies; particles moving in opposite directions suffer head-on collisions when the two beams are steered together. Describe one advantage of each type of experiment over the other.
