Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR) is a type of particle accelerator design that allows for high-energy collisions between beams of particles. The concept is specifically associated with the way two storage rings are configured to cross each other, enabling the simultaneous circulation of two particle beams that can collide at specific interaction points. In an ISR setup, particles—typically protons or other hadrons—are accelerated and stored in separate rings. These rings are designed to intersect at certain locations, where the particles collide head-on.
