Chen, P

The intense radiation, called beamstrahlung, during the collision of e{sup +}e{sup -} beams in a linear collider, is reviewed, with attention to the influence of beam-beam disruption on the beamstrahlung spectrum. We then discuss the various detector backgrounds induced by these hard beamstrahlung photons, as well as the Weiszacker-Williams photon, through various QED and QCD processes, namely the coherent and incoherent e{sup +}e{sup -} pair creation and the hadron production and minijet yields.
