In an e{sup {minus}}e{sup {minus}} collider, the mutual disruption of the beams will significantly decrease the luminosity, different from the case of e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} colliders, where the mutual attraction of the oppositely-charged beams leads to a self-focusing effect. In this paper the authors estimate the beam disruption at SLC and NLC energies using ABEL simulations. They then give estimates of how a plasma lens might improve the luminosity in e{sup {minus}}e{sup {minus}} collisions
