I would likr to know what would happen if two beta particles were too collide with each other

what is the physical situation?

you have beta particles...but they are electrons so what happens when two electrons face each other...electron scattering under coulomb repulsion...the same which in a set up like discharge tube phenomena ...at what energy your particles are ? that may tell you something more. try to think over it.
 
At low energies scattering is the only option. At higher energies there are more complex processes possible.

s that's true but would the same thing happen if they were traveling at the speed of light

Things with mass cannot travel at the speed of light. Very close to that is fine.

Electron-positron collisions are typically more interesting than electron-electron collisions.

Thanks for the booklet but have did they try to CREM on different elements

Did you read the "booklet"?

same charge electrons would be fun (eg. double charged Higgs bosons), though I don't think anyone would offer billions of dollars per year so that we can collide electrons in search of that particular thing...

beta particles can be positrons or electrons, what exactly are you referring to? electron-positron high-energy collisions have and are still offering us high-precision measurements. electron-electron or positron-positron would indeed be boring but for very specialized searches. Though at low-energies the e+e- for example can scatter or annihilate, the e-e- and e+e+ will only scatter.
