Previously it was shown that by crystallizing each of the two counter-circulating beams, a much larger beam-beam tune shift can be tolerated during the beam-beam collisions; thus a higher luminosity can be reached for colliding beams*. On the other hand, crystalline beams can only be formed at energies below the transition energy of the circular accelerators**. In this paper, we investigate the formation of crystals in two types of high-transition-energy lattices, one realized by three-cell missing dipole modules and the other with negative bends. The latter type satisfies the maintenance condition for a crystalline beam***.
