Im woking on a proof and I need to know if that had at any time been done, and if so, the results

nishup, saying that shows you put no thought in that answer, and in fact, are just after credit. Since they HAVE in particle accelerators smashed 2 protons (like charges) together, I was wondering if they attempted it with electrons, and if so, the result

A number of things can happen::

1. They can elastically scatter (changing direction with no energy loss
2. They can inelastically scatter, losing some of their energy to photons created by the collision.
3. If their kinetic energy in the center of mass frame excedes their rest mass energy, they can create a third electron and a positron.
4. At higher energies still, they can create any number of particle-antiparticle pairs.

Each reaction has an associated "cross section" detemining its probability (given beam parameters)

It is almost impossible to get 2 electrons to hit together as they are both of the same charge ( negative ) their fields will repel each other.
