The characterization of transverse particle distributions of bunches with non-Gaussian shapes is difficult due to a wide variety of possibilities. Without knowing additional information one can fit a distribution using first-, second-, third-, and higher order moments. These moments can then be used to describe beam shape changes along the accelerator, but with limited knowledge of the physics which caused the Perturbed shape. However, when the cause of the non-Gaussian distribution is known, a more detailed description of the particle distribution can be constructed. In the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) non-Gaussian distributions are produced by transverse wakefields in the 3000 m linac.
