Using a recent technique, proposed by Eardley and Giddings, we extend theirresults to the high-energy collision of two beams of massless particles, i.e.of two finite-front shock waves. Closed (marginally) trapped surfaces can bedetermined analytically in several cases even for collisions at non-vanishingimpact parameter in D\ge 4 space-time dimensions. We are able to confirm andextend earlier conjectures by Yurtsever, and to deal with arbitraryaxisymmetric profiles, including an amusing case of ``fractal'' beams. Wefinally discuss some implications of our results in high-energy experiments andin cosmology.Comment: 17 pages Revtex, 1 figure, references adde
