A scheme is considered for enhancing the luminosity of electron-positron colliders. One of the beams is taken to be much denser than the other and effectively becomes a lens for the second beam. The luminosity enhancement afforded by this asymmetric disruption process is estimated analytically. The scheme is severely limited by the kink instability which is characterized by a two-stream dispersion relation, and a constraint on the density of the less dense beam is found for which the instability is gradient stabilized.
