The theoretical description of the beam-beam interaction presented here takes into account all the important features of the beam-beam phenomenon: the nonlinear beam-beam force and its dependnce on both transverse coordinates, damping of the oscillations, presence of noise in the particle motion, in particular the quantum noise in its synchrotron radiation, actual machine functions, layout and the number B of interaction points, and to some extent imperfections present in the machine. The model deals not with a separate particle, but with the beam as a whole using phase space distribution functions and the average (unperturbed and perturbed) characteristics of the bunch.
