Book excerpt: Compensation of beam-beam effects in the Tevatron with electron beams has been recently suggested to improve the collider performance [1,2}. The method implies that an antiproton beam propagates through a countertraveling low-energy high-current electron beam ("electron lens"). An impact of the negative electron space charge can reduce betatron tune spread within antiproton bunch and a bunch-to-bunch tune spread - the effects due to collision with intensive proton beam responsible for reduction of the beam lifetime and luminosity. A prototype device for the beam-beam compensation in the Tevatron has been commissioned at Fermilab. We describe basic principles of the beam-beam compensation, represent the experimental set-up and report results of the first tests of the electron beam.
