We study a nonlinear integral equation for the equilbrium phase distribution of stored colliding electron beams. It is analogous to the Ha¨ õssinski equation, being derived from Vlasov-Fokker-Planck theory, but is quite different in form. We prove existence of a unique solution, thus the existence of a unique equilibrium state, for sufficiently small current. This is done for the Chao-Ruth model of the beam-beam in- teraction in one degree of freedom. We expect no difficulty in generalizing the argument to more realistic models.
