Ziemann, V

At the interaction point of the SLC two oppositely running bunches with energies of 46 GeV and transverse extensions of a few microns are brought into collision. The strong electric and magnetic fields produced by one bunch lead to a deflection of the other bunch and to the emission of synchrotron radiation of critical energies of a few 10 MeV. This radiation, coined beamstrahlung, is detected in a Cerenkov monitor. In this paper a simulation code for the beam-beam interaction of two tilted elliptic beams is presented. A closed expression for the deflection angles is presented and the number of generated Cerenkov photons is calculated. 6 refs., 3 figs.
