  The idea of round beams collision was proposed more than 20 years ago for the Novosibirsk Phi-factory design. It requires equal emittances, equal small fractional tunes, equal beta functions at the IP, no betatron coupling in the collider arcs. A 90° rotation at each passage of the transverse oscillation plane by means of solenoids in the interaction regions provides conservation of the longitudinal component of the angular moment. Thus the transverse motion becomes one-dimensional. Such a scheme helps to eliminate all betatron coupling resonances that are of crucial importance for beam-beam tune shift saturation and lifetime degradation. Only recently, the round beam concept was successfully tested at the electron-positron collider VEPP2000 at the energy of 510 MeV. Despite the low energy a high single bunch luminosity of 1031 cm-2s−1 was achieved together with a maximum tune shift as high as 0.1. At present the work is in progress to increase the energy of the collider to explore the range between 510 MeV and 1 GeV in collision.
